Adaptive Beauty (2026) imagines a speculative lifeform shaped by sustained environmental strain. The post-industrial plastic structure compresses into dense coils, opening only where textile appendages emerge through its crevices, recalling corals and anemones that colonise artificial supports.The work situates synthetic material as a provisional habitat, shaped by both human and non-human forms of adaptation under increasingly constrained conditions. Colour appears as a bodily stress response rather than a sign of recovery, registering pressure, exposure, and endurance instead of regeneration.
Exhibited at Picnic 1, Galleria Heino (Helsinki, Finland, 2026).
