INVASIVE
2025—present, INVASIVE uses non-native plants as material and metaphor to question ideas of belonging and otherness in a globalized world. Often labeled destructive, these species reflect how societies define what is “acceptable/welcome” or “foreign/unwanted.” By transforming them into art, I challenge the language of exclusion that shapes both ecological and social systems.
This work reimagines the unwanted as vital—highlighting resilience, adaptation, and the blurred boundaries between nature and culture. INVASIVE asks: who decides what belongs, and what might it mean to coexist instead of control?
