Mixed Media Installation work presented at Boundless: ADM GRADSHOW 2025

Winner of the Thomas Clarkson medal, global winner, Global Undergraduate Awards


Lament for the Anthropocene is a mixed media installation that reflects on the profound cultural and environmental shifts characteristic of the Anthropocene—a term signifying the current geological age shaped predominantly by human activity. Drawing from the long standing intertwined history of fibre work and technology, the installation seeks to preserve and celebrate the analog methods of creating “slow art” as a counterpoint to the rapid technological and environmental changes defining this era. Through this, we hope to evoke critical dialogue on sustainability, community, and the often-overlooked histories and processes behind technology and art-making.
