This three-week photographic installation made from living grass grown on a framed canvas, explores the tension between urban life and nature. It contemplates on how urban development and commercial interests, driven by economic priorities, lead to the cyclical depletion and reinstatement of green spaces, highlighting the transience of these spaces in the face of exploitation.

 

As the grass gradually deteriorates in the exhibition space, grass paint—a synthetic dye used in landscaping— is introduced to cover its blemishes. This act underscores the contradiction in how urban environments renew greenery for its economic value, while disregarding the deeper ecological cycles beneath it.
