Ink drawing depicting a partially collapsed stone structure integrated into an environment dominated by towering arboreal forms. The central construction consists of an arched façade composed of sequential stone blocks arranged into vertical window openings and a recessed entryway. Upper sections of the architecture are broken, with fragments bending outward, suggesting structural collapse or prolonged erosion. The masonry lines are uneven, accentuating displacement of stone elements. Encircling the ruin, multiple trees rise vertically, their trunks exhibiting exaggerated torsion with spiraling bark ridges and extended lateral branches. Several branches morph into elongated tendrils that arc toward the architectural walls, resembling organic appendages entwining with the structure. Root systems are visibly exposed, anchoring across the lower ground plane with irregular projection. Verticality dominates the composition, with both the skeletal trees and the broken wall segments drawing upward visual emphasis. The linear density of the pen strokes varies, with darker clusters accentuating shadowed recesses and lighter strokes delineating background space. The scene conveys integration of constructed and organic systems, wherein natural growth overtakes masonry remnants, establishing an entwined landscape of ruin and arboreal dominance. Peripheral margins remain undefined, maintaining focus on the central cluster of architectural remnants and encroaching vegetation.
Composite photograph consisting of two vertically stacked frames documenting a staged installation in an interior gallery-like space. The setup combines large fabric surfaces, projected moving imagery, and mannequin figures arranged with props.

In both frames, the backdrop is dominated by an expansive black drape extending across a raised platform area and cascading onto the floor. The drape provides a textured surface for projection. A video projection is cast onto the central section of the fabric, showing imagery of natural foliage, trees, and forest light filtered through branches. The projection is irregular, following the folds and creases of the cloth, producing distortion and layered depth.

To the right, two mannequins or sculptural figures are positioned upright, interacting with a vertical wooden pole. The mannequins are wrapped in cloth material, their forms simplified but humanoid. Attached to the pole are lengths of fabric, one plain and another with applied circular motifs resembling stitched or imprinted organic textures. These suspended fabrics create the impression of garments or banners on display.

The first frame shows the installation under more intense red lighting, saturating the space and contrasting strongly with the cooler tones of the projected forest imagery. In the second frame, the projection is clearer, with more visible detail of trees and foliage across the black fabric, while the mannequins and suspended cloth remain in the same positions. The interplay of colored ambient lighting and projection creates a hybrid visual field that fuses digital imagery with sculptural arrangement.

The installation combines elements of stagecraft, video art, and sculptural display. It highlights contrasts between synthetic red illumination, organic forest imagery, and the tactile physicality of cloth and mannequin structures. The work operates across layered dimensions of projection, performance environment, and material installation.
