Vestige is a living, sculptural installation that examines the entangled relationship between care, decay, and institutional dependence. Organic materials—fragile and responsive—serve as metaphors for human vulnerability, reflecting how survival is shaped by systemic failure and uneven access to resources. By embedding living matter directly into the work, Vestige foregrounds both the emotional and physical labor required to sustain life, while questioning the illusion of self-sufficiency.


The piece cultivates a meditative environment that encourages viewers to reflect on their own relationship to care, maintenance, and ecological interdependence. The living sculptures—connected to a shared IV drip system—exist in a state of flux, visibly responding to their environment and one another.  A nearby table holds a CD player and burned ambient soundscapes that mimic breath and pulse, further grounding the piece in the rhythms of living systems.





Ambient Pulse


A collection of six evolving soundscapes, each sonically tethered to the breath, condition, and vitality of a sculpture. Composed from salvaged recordings—heartbeats, soil vibrations, water, breath, and whispering air—the pieces blur the boundary between internal body and external nature. Organic and synthetic tones interweave to evoke a fragile interdependence between body and earth, presence and absence, what is felt and what is forgotten.

Together, the soundscapes form a living acoustic ecology—an immersive environment shaped by reciprocity, care, and vulnerability. Their shifting volumes mirror the fluctuating health of the sculptures, offering a sensory meditation on maintenance, attunement, and the radical quiet of care.
