Installation.

Brass bowl, water, amplifier, media player, speaker, magnet, a 7.62×39mm bullet found in coordinates (33°31’34.7″N 36°13’49.4″E), MDF table.

Magic medicinal bowl with divine inscriptions. Drinking from it brings healing to persons in shock. However, this bowl just arrived from Syria after being exposed to 10 years of war. It’s dysfunctional and seems to be in a state of trauma.
