Open Gate to the Fossil Garden
2026multimedia sculptural installation
refurbished cabinet door, pencil drawing; plaster castings, variable sizes.
This work was possible thanks to Milieudefensie Jong, showcased in their curation for VrijPaleis, Amsterdam, NL.
Open Gate to the Fossil Garden transforms a discarded studio cabinet door into a speculative portal to a “fossil garden.” The outer surface shows sketchbook‑style pencil images of an untended garden behind a gate, while the interior becomes a miniature cabinet of curiosities, housing fictional flowers imagined for this garden.
Each specimen originates from research sketches, based on the memories of gardens from artists' childhood, carved in clay and cast in plaster as “techno‑fossils” that appear both newly discovered and extinct.
The original hinges remain functional, allowing the door to swing open and invite viewers to step into the imagined ecosystem.
By repurposing waste into a narrative device, the work critiques capitalist “use‑and‑discard” logic, visualises a post‑capitalist world where growth‑driven economies have halted, and encourages reflection on alternative relationships with nature and future biodiversity.

Botanica from the Gardens and Peripheries of Future:
Rafflesia itineris
2025multimedia sculptural installation
6 earthenware sculptures, collected insects, colored resin, alginate bioyarn; oil on plasterboard, 200x39cm
Installation Rafflesia itineris is a part of ongoing series about speculative botanical futures, exploring various plant species and their possible evolution in response to human-induced catastrophes. This project questions whether plant knowledge can help with facilitation of lost third places while proposing a path towards a multispecies future where harmonious coexistence is possible.
For more information on the project, as well as the particular plant renditions themselves, please visit the encyclopeadic page here.

Fragments, continuously evolving
2025 pencil and wax pastel on salvaged plasterboard
Fragments is an investigation into techno-fossilazation of materials, manifesting as fictive plant drawings on salvaged plasterboard. The plasterboard is explored as an alternative for canvas, minimizing waste of the project it comes from originally, as well as reducing the need for purchasing newer materials.
The reused boards originally come from the installation Your Own Sun by Brianna Leatherburry, produced and shown at A Tale Of A Tub in an exhibition by the name of The Drain, which I helped building up. Therefore, I have worked with the material twice with my own hands in completely different settings and conditions, with different tools.
