VISUAL ARCHIVE
The visual archive comprises all works organised chronologically, spanning research-led projects, installations, and embedded practice developed across art, design, and ecological inquiry.
I work on art in applied critical ecologies and my background spans architecture, and visual art. I am currently developing Ecological Prostheses: sculptural systems, wearables, and site-specific installations that approach artistic practice as an ecological gesture. Drawing on agrotechnology, somatic practices, and speculative design, I investigate the productive tension between ecological care and disturbance. My work amplifies existing environmental dynamics, inviting playful forms of ecological relationality. My current practice grows through residencies, writing, exhibitions, and long-term research projects developed with cultural institutions, research initiatives, and interdisciplinary collaborators. Before focusing on my independent practice, I collaborated with Office for Political Innovation, KWY, and Superflex, and co-founded Raiz, an agrotechnology startup developing hydroponic farming systems.
