FLOAT

2023

Themes of sustainability, community, and connection to the land are explored through the simple yet symbolically rich form of an orange. By presenting the orange in stages of dissection and in varied contexts, Float invites the organic cycle of growth and decay to be considered, and the potential of everyday objects to reflect broader ecological and societal concerns. The gradual reduction of the orange evokes the delicate balance between consumption and preservation, urging a mindful approach to nature and the ecosystems we inhabit. Float is a meditation on interdependence and the impacts of human activity on the earth’s finite resources, fostering a deeper awareness of our role within the environmental cycle.
