This is an excerpt from Screen 3 of my multi-channel installation Willow Black, featuring ethnobiologist Hayana Freitas and performer Julia Testas. 🌿 Showing at the Ruskin Gallery, @cambridge_school_of_art , until Oct 5 as part of Passing Traces, the work explores the relocation of Latin American bodies—human and botanical—within Britain, reimagining colonial fragments into something alive, unstable, and renewed.

Grateful to @aa2aproject and Anglia Ruskin University for the residency and support that made Willow Black possible — and to curator @elisabetta_ga along with fellow artists @natashavikulina , @sidwhitejones , @isabel_castro_jung and @stepanka.facerova for sharing this journey. 🙏✨
