Homescreen

CERAMIC
2023

“Homescreen” explores the intricate symbiosis between nature, technology, and global interdependence. Inspired by the invisible networks that sustain both ecosystems and human systems, the work reflects on how biological and digital roots intertwine within contemporary life. At its core lies the soybean — the world’s fourth most cultivated plant — whose complex root system collaborates with rhizobial bacteria to thrive.

The installation consists of sculptural elements cast from plaster molds of soybean roots, forming organic, root-like structures. Natural Taiwanese clays combined with iron oxides evoke the richness and density of soil, grounding the work in the material language of the earth.

Homescreen was created during an artist residency at the Yingge Ceramics Museum in Taiwan, supported by OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH.
