Reunion at Family Lands
Sculpture, 2023

Tomorrow grows out of today. Not so long ago, plastic was considered a material for the stuff that dreams are made of. Nowadays, it has infiltrated everywhere—in, on, and around us. I can only speculate what kind of dreamy futures are out there for all of us. But I find strange calmness in the fact that there are organisms who would be able to survive in the new types of ecosystems. One of these organisms are microscopic (and sometimes parasitic) worms named nematodes. By bonding together with other non-humans, they would make sure that mountains, hills, valleys, rivers, and lakes can breathe and grow and that new structures can be built from the ashes and through the fractures.
Work was created for the group exhibition Objects of Dystopia at RIVA Studio, London, UK.
