Rooted in contemporary philosophies discussing issues of disembodiment, immateriality, deterritorialization, and nomadism, this body of work is a reaction to my surroundings: our commoditized society, the sprawl of characterless urbanism and its disjunction with nature, and alienation from our ancestors’ knowledge of life and living beings.

Other Earth - Other Earth

My focus is to eradicate the lasting impact of our mortality on our natural environment and to promote the use of our technologies to forge a new model for existence in accordance with nature. The new model, which I call Other Earth, is a parallel dimension of Earth, based on my concept of Tentative Architecture. Tentative Architecture is an immaterial architecture that can happen at any time and at any point in space; it is an architecture that is immediately related to the bodies occupying it and does not exist without the presence of one.
