In the pieces of this series, untreated jute meets vibrant colors and felted wool. The fibrous forms are reminiscent of organs, nerves, hair, fungal mycelium, prosthetics, or alien tissues, without being clearly definable as any one of these forms. They are neither entirely organic nor unambiguously synthetic. Rather, they give rise to intermediate forms and materialities in which nature and technology, body and environment, interior and exterior merge into one another. The works explore the body beyond familiar boundaries.
The series conceives of material not as a passive carrier of meaning, but as an agent of ongoing becoming. What emerges is not a body in the classical sense, but a speculative biology of the in-between. The body reveals itself as a provisional conglomerate of biological, technical, material, and affective relationships that is constantly changing, connecting, expanding, and generating its own boundaries.
The brief instruction for action is an integral part of the work. Oscillating between play, ritual, poetic instruction, and thought experiment, it functions as a protocol for an alternative relationship with matter, the body and the environment.
