This collection interrogates the relationship between human neglect and environmental resilience. It does not merely document the damage; it aestheticizes it, reframing these remnants into sculptural compositions where decay meets precision, disorder meets balance, and ruin finds a new formal integrity. The objects—whether fragments of industrial waste, synthetic debris, or marine remnants eroded by time—are repositioned within a minimalist yet conceptually charged framework, forcing a reconsideration of their meaning.

By juxtaposing organic elements with artificial remnants, Drifting Remains transforms these materials from environmental detritus into artifacts of paradoxical beauty. Their scars, weathered surfaces, and disrupted forms are not masked but elevated, inviting the viewer to engage with waste not as an afterthought but as a presence demanding confrontation. Each composition resists the impulse to sanitize, instead presenting pollution as an aesthetic and conceptual language—one that speaks of human intervention, ecological imbalance, and the silent labor of water in reshaping what is left behind.

Yet, within this confrontation lies an alternative perspective: what if these discarded materials, when removed from their contexts of neglect, become symbols of endurance rather than degradation? What if, by shifting the lens, we grant them an aesthetic dignity denied by their original purpose? This transformation is central to the collection’s ethos—by isolating, framing, and restructuring these remnants, Drifting Remains disrupts perception, allowing these materials to be seen anew.

Through its minimalist yet charged compositions, the collection speaks to the tension between beauty and destruction, presence and erasure. It does not seek to romanticize waste, nor to neutralize its consequences, but rather to underscore the paradox of our relationship with nature: we take from it, discard into it, and then ignore what remains. In repositioning these displaced artifacts, Drifting Remains challenges the viewer to confront the fragility of ecosystems, the persistence of human traces, and the potential for meaning to emerge even from what is abandoned.
