Resonant Root

Resonant Root is a sculptural work that proposes a hybrid life form situated between the organic and the technological. The form emerges from the ground like a root marked by erosion and decay, while rising into a parabolic receiver that appears to tune into invisible signals. From its upper opening, a subtle heartbeat emerges—not as a representation of human presence, but as a trace of a fragile, non-human vitality that persists within altered ecosystems.

The work explores hybrid ecologies shaped by extractive practices and colonial legacies, drawing on the notion of alterlife and the logic of critical fabulation. The form remains ambiguous: it could be a plant mutated by toxicity, a fossil from the future, or a sentinel attuned to other temporalities. This ambiguity embodies metamorphosis as a continuous transition between trauma and resilience, memory and forgetting, rootedness and nomadism. Through the work, an act of listening is proposed: to root more deeply and to attune more carefully to worlds in flux.
