Project Overview

A multi-media installation and research project examining how discarded materials from modernist projects can be reconfigured into new forms that resist dominant narratives about progress, development, and cultural hierarchy.

Project Background

This project emerged from ongoing research into the intersections of ecological systems and artistic practice. Building on previous work that explored the relationship between human activity and environmental change, this project takes a more focused approach by examining specific water ecosystems and their cultural significance.

Methodology

The project employs a mixed-methods approach combining field research, community engagement, and studio-based experimental processes. Documentation includes photography, video, sound recording, and material sampling, which are then transformed through various artistic interventions.

Expected Outcomes

The project will culminate in a series of public presentations, including an exhibition, a publication, and community workshops. These outcomes aim to create new understanding and dialogue around water systems and their relationship to cultural and ecological sustainability.
