Of petals and fleece: A living archive in Algae
This piece is a sensorial and speculative archive, woven from botanical residues and organic matter as witnesses of passing time. The washed, unspun fleece retains its primal tactility, while a translucent biopolymer derived from algae encapsulates dried petals, loose threads, and floral debris.
Together, they form a living membrane — a material document where memory, body, and landscape converge. The wool speaks of ancestral care and domestication; the algae, of sustainable, ephemeral futures. The dried flowers, suspended like soft fossils, suggest an archaeology of the intimate — of what once bloomed and decayed.
This living archive invites us to reimagine permanence — not as preservation, but as latency. In it, softness, biodegradability, and sensorial matter endure not by resisting time, but by dissolving into it.
