In this 2nd chapter, I have adapted four key elements from Buddhism (Earth-Water-Fire-Air) to transform my political research issue into religious-mysterious journey of exploring happiness and love, of interaction and energy collection. I connected the earth from the Cambodian-Vietnamese border with the waters of the Trent River in Nottingham, in a multi-form installation that included audio-visual work, the Buddhist water blessing in a performance, a durational participatory performance with water guns and earth and sculpture that will melt the symbolic border posts fabricated in palm sugar, a main source of trade across the Cambodian-Vietnamese border.
