This project reflects on how people spend less time in nature and more time in shopping centres. In the period before COVID‑19, while working in a shopping centre, I observed how people moved through these environments and noticed three patterns: those who spend almost all their free time in commercial spaces, those who prefer nature, and those who divide their time between both. These observations highlighted how easily we become detached from nature in everyday life.

While exploring urban green areas, I focused on lichens, organisms that rarely appear in cities and act as indicators of air quality. I created textile sculptural forms inspired by lichens and developed a site‑specific installation that places these forms into a constructed interior, exploring how nature might inhabit and subtly disrupt human‑made spaces. Their organic structures and colours introduce a quiet natural presence into an artificial environment.

The aim of the project is not to criticise modern architecture or human behaviour, but to draw attention to a gentle indifference toward nature, ourselves, and the environments we create.
