Archive of a Territory in Motion

An archive is often understood as a place where things remain. A territory, by contrast, is never still. It changes with time, climate, vegetation, and the people who inhabit it. This series emerges from that tension: how can we record something that, by its very nature, never stops transforming?

Archive of a Territory in Motion continues an investigation begun in Shifting Territories. While that body of work explored the accumulation of forms and the construction of dense landscapes, this series shifts toward the notion of the archive. The works function as partial records of processes of growth, erosion, and change, rather than as representations of a specific place.

Along the way, Rococo emerged as an unexpected point of reference. I am drawn to its exuberance, its insistent repetition of motifs, and the sense that its forms continue expanding beyond their own boundaries. That visual logic finds an echo in the landscape, becoming a way of observing the patterns of growth and transformation that shape the natural world.
