A series of composite UV prints on brushed aluminium and laser-engraved wooden fibreboard frames. The works explore the transformation of natural forms through digital processes.

Created during a residency in Murnau am Staffelsee, Bavaria, the series draws from the dense wetlands of the Murnauer Moos and the surrounding alpine landscapes. Inspired by the saturated colours and intricate structures of the local flora, the pieces translate organic shapes into digitally rendered and fabricated objects.

The work draws on language and human knowledge extracted from scientific literature, gathered as an aspiration toward preservation and future survival. These traces of organic growth and biological memory are contrasted with the cold precision of machine-driven processes and a material inherently unsuitable for nurture or cultivation.

Starting with photographs and 3D scans of plants and natural textures, the process moves through stages of digital modelling and physical production, combining industrial materials with elements of the natural world. The result is a body of work that blurs the boundary between organic and synthetic, questioning how technology alters our perception of landscape and growth.
