recent works
This section aims to showcase my recent works. I need to restructure my website, so this is just an improvised and quick solution,
which is why it works best on a monitor. I am sorry for any inconvenienc:)
My work follows two paths: One is an artistic exploration of the human relationship with nature.
Through textiles, I aim to highlight contrasts between humans and nature, but also similarities and
metaphors for how we can grow together with nature.
I hope to find ways to intertwine in the future. Additionally, I am fascinated by scientific research on plants.
Plants are incredible creatures, and it is stunning to see how they work, communicate, support each other, and compete.
Each species is unique, and there are many forgotten plants we need to rediscover.
The second path is more design-oriented. My goal is to find simple and unconventional ways to integrate plants into our daily lives.
This involves combining textiles, watering systems, control systems, and optional lighting onto some sort of scaffold.
These two paths are closely connected and influence each other.
It is challenging, but also unnecessary, to distinguish between them.
With the design-oriented path, I hope to offer ways to reconnect with nature in our daily lives.

the textile pulls water up from inside the vase, bringing it to the outside so the seeds can grow and
create a fade between red amaranth and green chia.

longer-term trials show that herbs are growing into full plants on the textiles.
