Internal garden, 2020
former home during lock down
The blue moss had crept over everything again, and it was thickest around our door. That was only natural. With Mom's hysterical fits, there was always something for it to feed on. (...) Then it was explained to me that the blue moss is a native inhabitant of the Gloom, a parasite that consumes human emotions.
Daywatch by Sergei Lukyanenko
Developed under conditions of isolation, digital saturation, and continuous exposure to mediated crisis, the work examines how technologically driven environments produce affective and spatial tension within domestic space.
Operating through spatial interventions and material experimentation, the practice translates states of anxiety, mistrust, and unrealised futures into organic, invasive forms. These elements emerge within interior settings, blurring boundaries between body, environment, and technological mediation. Function as responsive systems in which emotional and informational overload is materialised, reconfiguring the home as a hybrid space shaped by networked affect, political instability, and ecological pressure.
