| description | This project aims to challenge the Western environmental gaze through a series of sculptures, assemblages, immersive installations, and field trip documentation and exegetical writing. Framed by four anthropocentric perspectives—mastery, hierarchy, passivity, and atemporality—it examines the hubris in notions of control over the more-than-human. By interrogating prevailing environmental imaginaries, the research fosters a nuanced understanding of ecological interconnectedness while contributing to dialogues in environmental aesthetics. |
