Description :
Unrooted reflects on displacement as a process of breaking, adapting, and reconstructing. Discarded pieces of wood are arranged across the floor as fragments of structures that have already carried other histories, while metal, staples, and rope attempt to connect and hold them together. Drawing from my experience of moving beyond a familiar environment, the installation considers what happens when established forms of support are removed. Rather than presenting displacement only as loss, the work explores how instability can become a condition through which new structures, perspectives, and ways of belonging are constructed.
