The work takes the form of wings: a steel skeleton stretched with a thin, translucent mesh. The tension creates the essence of the work: physical, holding the material taut and flight-ready, and metaphorical, between fragility and weight. In this form, the wings do not fly. They are a symbol, a prosthetic, an ornament: wearing them allows a metaphorical ascent into the night sky, a view of the world from a distance, outside the entanglement of discourse and paradigm. Night itself matters here: the moment when non-normativity awakens and the world of capital falls asleep. The mesh is dyed in earthy grey tones referencing the lichens and patinas found on urban facades. This motif, recurring across my work, evokes organisms living in the shadow of humanity, the fragility of human constructs, and interspecies symbiosis as an alternative to anthropocentric thinking.
