Ephemeral Threads, Symphonies Arrangement

Installation, mixed-media, 2025

Corrugated plastic panels, expanded volcanic glass (perlite), translucent fabric, and printed images brace and obstruct one another, forming a highly precarious structure—like a cross-section of an unfinished greenhouse on the verge of collapse. The bodies of plants have disappeared, yet the material conditions that once controlled them remain, asserting their physical weight and direction. In this context, “caring for plants” is stripped of its emotional resonance, revealing itself instead as a rigid configuration of minerals, polymers, and the biopolitical forces they exert.

The greenhouse functions as a technology of protection and isolation, care and regulation, but the installation exposes its inherent vulnerabilities. Just as mold inevitably blooms in the damp corners of a tightly controlled environment, the work captures the subtle leaks and organic disruptions that seep through the cracks of institutional power. The work fixes this moment of precarious tension, examining how the rigid boundaries between structure and organism, control and leakage, are constantly negotiating their own collapse.
