Project

Architecture of Care, led by Yevgenia Davidoff, 2023-ongoing

shown at Texas State FLEX Space , Austin, TX

This installation Architecture of Care examines how systems of care, meaning, and belief are reconstructed at a small scale through provisional architectures made from domestic and utilitarian forms. By arranging painted glass, cast packaging, living plants, and light into a fragile, cultivated landscape, the work treats the everyday as a site of ritual, maintenance, and collective attention. It asks whether these temporary, handmade structures can function as habitats for care in the absence of stable, shared frameworks of support.

Review in San Marcos Record

The divine mother, or mother nature herself, is vast and overarching; she evokes deep emotions with her various colors and forms. For seemingly all of existence, human beings have been endlessly fascinated by her. A trip into the Texas State University FLEX Gallery will transport you into a serene botanical wonderland rich with luscious flowers, moss, tree fungus and other natural elements.
