El was invited by the Serpentine Gallery to create a new work in response to the at the gallery called Web(s) of Life, a living, collaborative and multi-species exhibition that delves into how different life forms, technologies and energy systems are connected in the climate emergency.
Inspiration came from the immediate environment around El by looking at creatures making, including humans, and exploring things from fungal infections to writhing worms. The title refers to a question her mum would ask at the end of each day, and how as an artist she would often feel unproductive.
