Entropy is a record of the physical marks of a gesture: a communicative system that serves as a language, which expresses both haptic and tacit knowledge. The title and the work reference the theory of thermodynamics, visualising the interplay between energy and work, the disorder or randomness in the system but also lack of predictability and gradual decline into disorder.
