Become a PatronProject Overview
A digital art and archival project focused on documenting and deconstructing urban spaces in transition, with particular attention to how digital technologies both preserve and transform collective memory within urban environments.
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.
