I approach textiles as organic living systems rather than static objects. Using the technique of micro-macramé, I create thread-based ecosystems that host non-human agents and shift focus away from human-centered control toward coexistence and interdependence.

Working at a micro scale, small knots and repeated gestures gradually form dense structures. These processes reflect how complex ecological and social systems emerge through entanglement and interaction. The swamp is a central reference in the work: an environment shaped by instability, adaptation, and transformation.

In this project, the swamp also functions as a metaphor for contemporary society—fragmented, contradictory, and resistant to fixed order. Instead of viewing disorder as failure, the work values chaos, decay, and contamination as productive conditions. This perspective introduces an alternative “eco-logic” that challenges traditional ideas of progress, purity, and control.

By foregrounding non-human presence, the project adopts a more-than-human perspective, where materials and systems act alongside the human hand rather than being fully directed by it. Micro-macramé, often linked to craft and wearability, is expanded into non-wearable textile objects that function as environments rather than accessories.

Softness, fragility, and density are treated as structural qualities. Through this approach, the work proposes textiles as spaces of coexistence and adaptation, and the swamp as a model for understanding life beyond human-centered frameworks.
