My work embodies concepts of Post-naturalism — a perspective that questions the objectification of nature as pristine and separate from humans. The installations are renditions of environmental stories, histories, and concepts of nature, all of which have been constructed and distorted by humans. Just as nature itself is hybridized and transformed by industry, so are the narratives we create. The installations serve as situations where the distinction between reality and representation breaks down, and the representation becomes a reality unto itself.
In this context, I produce 3D objects and installations using salvaged plastics, mangled industrial and architectural parts, and photography entwined with branches and tree roots. The manipulation and fusion of these disparate materials highlight both the stark contrasts and the blurring of boundaries between the manufactured and the natural.
I consider my work to be hybrid adaptations — a consequence of human intervention and environmental degradation.
My focus is on how nature is a dynamic, ever-evolving system, intricately intertwined with culture and technology.
