Psyche-delic, multidimensional, trans- disciplinary, reimagining our interconnectedness through multiple perspectives, traces, memories and practices. Designs are carefully elaborated in collaboration with plants, fauna,architectecture, crafts, beings, places, terrestrial companion species/inhabitants.
