Sea Holly Encounters

2025

When we speak of memory, we rarely think beyond the human, yet in while I was doing a residency in August 2025, in Galichnik, I found myself following the Pyrenean sea holly as if it carried its own form of remembering. Its form, holding together contradiction— fragile, firm, and sharp, repetitive yet standing under the hot sun— became a way for me to see and think with the landscape. I started to confess to the flower.

Through this process, the flower becomes both a subject and a guide, a way of seeing the landscape just like people, as an archive, marked by cycles of growth and disappearance. The video is composed of moving experimental images, AI-generated videos, and recordings of the flower.
