This piece serves as a collective response and poetic commentary on the cognitive dissonance surrounding the fate of our planet. A ceramic sphere rests atop a metal frame, resembling an "anti-monument" that honours the hidden wonders of nature. While ordinary monuments exude permanence, monumentality, and reverence, an anti-monument is ephemeral, fragile, and requires the viewer’s participation to activate its presence. In other words, we sought to create an immersive exhibition experience that honours the power encapsulated in small, fleeting moments. 

Upon contact, the sculpture opens a sonic portal—rustling leaves, howling winds, and distorted field recordings fill the space, transforming the audience from passive observers to active participants. 

The warm red glow that envelops the room underscores the contrast between the urgent need for change and the pervasive apathy towards action. Wires cascading from the sphere evoke the imagery of roots, a reference to the philosophy of the rhizome, retracing psychogeographies through the memories of an endangered time. 

Through this interactive installation, the work aims to bridge the divide between our psychology and reality, encouraging a return to ancient, innate ways of living in harmony with the earth. By engaging with the psyche, this piece invites us to reflect on how our actions shape our collective consciousness, offering a space for reconnection, remembrance, and redefinition.

This piece was originally made in collaboration with RCA alumni Maria Joseph, Claire Lee and Kris Chang.
