Figurines


In progress

Figures and mascots can be seen as tools that express how we feel or who we want to be. They act as surfaces for projection, often happy, strong or showing other kinds of desireable emotion.

These sculptures look into subtle sensations and more complicated ones that are a part of being human.

The project is a collaboration with photographer Misa Asanuma.

Funded by Scandinavia-Japan Sasakawa Foundation.

Soft Infrastructure


Commissioned by the Biennale di Venezia as part of their College program, Soft Infrastructure is a collaborative project with Jaakko Heikkilä.
It presents a system of erosion control that utilizes common reed, an abundant resourse available along many shores. By using reed, the project aims to reduce excess nutrients from water bodies while offering protection for erosion-prone hillsides, making it possible for local flora to recover.

The installation is part of the main exhibition in the 19th International Architecture Exhibition.
