DESCRIPTION

The exhibition unfolds across multiple themes: cultural displacement, environmental devastation, and the precarious balance between resilience and erasure. Both artists probe the fragile seams of human systems, from the infrastructures that collapse under the weight of disaster to the landscapes and animal lives scarred by fire, neglect, and exploitation. Their practices draw on strategies of displacement, memorialization, and estrangement, revealing how the synthetic and the natural, the human and the nonhuman, continually intersect and break apart. What emerges is a meditation on the sounds, memories, and matter left behind that insist collapse is never final but always carried forward as a reminder of care, vulnerability, and survival.
