ART RESIDENCY

During my residency at Sun Peaks Center for Art and Sustainability, I developed a work rooted in the elemental relationship between life and environment—water, light, growth, and living systems.

The project reflects on origin. Life emerging from water, the first movement toward becoming. The koi, present within the landscape, became a natural symbol—carrying with it a mythology of resilience, transformation, and transcendence.

Through a sculptural garment inspired by its form and movement, I translated these ideas into a living structure—where body and nature converge. The work becomes both a reflection and a question: how do we evolve in relation to the world that sustains us?
