The exhibition features works that bind together forms of nature and found materials. The works are rooted in sensory observations made in forests and along shorelines. In addition to visual perception, the aim has been to convey experiences of places and movements of different species through other senses.

The result may take the form of an unknown organism, space, or glimmer, whose form does not directly correspond to anything existing but has emerged through an artistic process. The exhibition explores spatial rhythm through the interplay between the works and the shadows they cast.

The works inhabit a moment between the process of making and the moment of their collapse.

The works are made from willow and other deciduous trees collected along ditches; age-old parts of agricultural machinery, such as grates used for threshing grain; forged cranks; and wooden blanks of machines and boats. In addition, there are more recent found materials, such as exhaust pipes and copper water pipes.

The materials of the works evoke temporal layers, movement, bodily references, and ecological perspectives.
