Weeds: Worlds that They Edge (2021)

Photography, and a single-channel essay video with sound.

Awarded 1st place, Enterprise Poets Prize for Imagining a Future, Ilona Karmel Writing Prizes, MIT.





An evolvoing photographic series of urban weeds, the everyday, ritualistic greenery existing universally beyond boundaries. The imagery juggles between tangents of the explosively amplified and the extremely confined. Amongst different geopolitical and socio-urbanistic contexts lie the same light of hope: how can weeds thrive within constraints, never conceive, always be free?
