Meal in the Verge is a performance in which invited participants gather in the highway verge, the strip of land along the road where human infrastructure and the natural world meet. In this overlooked landscape, Lee brought people together for a shared meal and a repeated call: May all living things be safe. May all living things be wild.
Set on iron plates cast from tires and deer remains found along the road, the meal is a quiet act of witness. Guests shared stories of their own experiences with wildlife and roadkill, representing moments of beauty, loss, and violence. Exploring the tension between safety and wildness, the work asked participants to confront the impact of human systems on the roadside verge — and the lives lost within it.
