Tensilis Integris

A plant-like structure that embodies the balance of forces and tensions found in nature. The plant symbolizes the freedom to discover and move through its swaying joints while contrasting the reality of those restricted by economic and geopolitical barriers limiting their mobility based on privilege, nationality, or class. This work is dedicated to all the artists who couldn't be with us in the residency due to human-made barriers.
