Habitat Bryophyta is an art installation that explores the relationship between humans and nature. Wooden chairs, symbolizing human presence, become canvases where textile elements intertwine. The textiles that wrap around the wooden frames are transformed and a symbiotic relationship between natural forms and textures emerges, creating a visual and sensory experience. Through this transformation, a symbiosis between humans and nature is established, expressed through the harmony between wool and wood. The textile surfaces interwoven with the wooden structures express a subtle balance between human influence and natural processes. The changes brought by the textiles to space symbolize the dynamics and adaptation that occur in both human society and the natural environment.
