As Above, So Below develops from the principle of reciprocity between systems, proposing a mirrored relationship between what exists above and below, across both natural and human domains. Rather than positioning these as separate or hierarchical, Meshel treats them as interdependent structures, where movement, behaviour, and transformation in one realm are reflected in the other.
Central to the work is the recurring motif of birds, each individually embroidered onto the surface. This process introduces a durational dimension, in which repetition and manual labour become integral to the formation of the image. The act of stitching each element by hand resists immediacy, embedding time, effort, and physical engagement directly into the work.
The accumulation of these forms creates a visual field that suggests both migration and pattern, echoing natural systems while simultaneously reflecting human attempts to interpret and replicate them. In this way, the work moves between observation and reconstruction, holding tension between organic flow and deliberate intervention.
