Low-tech Organics - grow, adapt and take root
We propose an immersive sculptural installation within the culvert, where raw materials, artificial structures, and organic forms merge into a surreal, low-tech ecosystem. Pedestal-based sculptures and vertical tension rod structures evoke a landscape in transition—industrial remnants adapting into an uncanny, living presence.
Pedestals of stacked cinder blocks and metal piping support cement and glass illuminated sculptures. Cast from single-use plastic packaging, the cement bears the imprint of disposable culture, while the hand-painted glass preserves delicate botanical imagery. Light within these works is more than illumination—it breathes, flickers, and lingers like fireflies in a jar, capturing nature’s essence within synthetic containment. It suggests life held in suspension, an artificial ecosystem in quiet flux.
Floor-to-ceiling tension rod sculptures mimic disguised cell towers—industrial trees made of metal piping and electrical lightboxes. Painted plexiglass panels diffuse a soft, eerie glow, forming an artificial forest that both echoes and distorts nature, as if infrastructure itself has begun to grow, adapt, and take root.
Low, atmospheric lighting deepens the installation’s enigmatic presence, casting shifting shadows across the culvert and reinforcing its liminality. The sculptures create a winding path, slowing movement and drawing viewers into deeper contemplation. An ambient soundtrack of industrial hums, distant echoes, and organic tones blurs the line between machine and nature.
Through light, sound, and form, the culvert becomes a threshold where the artificial and organic converge. This installation invites viewers to reconsider the boundary between nature and industry—when imitation no longer disrupts but transforms into something new.
