Gras, 2026, textile, 100 x 80 x 50 cm

A traffic cone rises from what appears to be a field of grass, yet upon closer inspection, the surface reveals itself to be carpet—a material associated with interiors, cultivation, and human construction. What initially seems natural is, in fact, fabricated; what is typically functional and industrial suddenly appears soft, almost as if it belongs.

The traffic cone is an object designed to direct, define, and regulate space. Its inherent logic collides with a ground that performs nature without ever becoming it. The carpet strives to be grass. The cone strives to be a traffic cone. Neither fully succeeds, and it is precisely within that failure that something begins to emerge.

The work explores the friction between nature and construction, between control and growth. In this encounter, the traffic cone loses its authority and becomes part of an ambiguous whole—half infrastructure, half organism.

With a subtle sense of irony, the work questions the ways in which we shape, imitate, and negotiate our environment.
