‘time poor dream pool, 2024, is a puzzle of 1950s Malta, embalmed in crisp blue resin and embellished with swimming pool tiles. Amid the pace of modernisation, gentrification and environmental crisis, Teresa freezes memory in a material reminiscent of the one constant encircling Malta; the Mediterranean Sea. The once treasured object — now frozen in time — reflects the challenge of trying to maintain a static understanding of a rapidly changing world.”

Busuttil’s work is an exquisite display of installation and sculpture. Here, amongst this collection of artworks, we are asked: Who determines right from wrong, and why? What is a lifetime of seeking prosperity for your family by any means at your disposal, if not some kind of holy expedition?
