"Circuit Diagram" is a recent project I developed during my residency at
@raviliege this past summer.
In this work, I collected and dried random plants from the surrounding area, using them to construct a basic electrical circuit diagram on the wall. The plants, affixed with tape, reference the traditional practice of creating herbariums, symbolising humanity's impulse to capture, systematise, and control natural phenomena—such as energy—through the use of diagramsy.
The residency's location, which historically functioned as a battery factory, became a significant point of departure for this piece. It extends from a previous body of work (see images 5and 6), in which I explored the intersections of natural and industrial processes.
Throughout my time at @raviliege my projects engaged with the cyclical nature of energy, considering themes of decay and the balance between nature and culture.
