Post geographies of my heart, 2025

Brushed wool felted on foam, empty yarn cones

  • Constructing an affective landscape in which intimacy and obstruction coexist, the installation is situated within a raw, graffiti-marked industrial space. The topography is shaped by emotional residues: traces of presence, erasure, and displacement that accumulate as neighbourhoods are rebranded and repurposed.

    Sections of mountains made from leftover wool yarn clippings floating above repeating cones; their softness evokes clouds, bodies, or dissolving maps. These tactile forms suggest memory and lived experience, fragile accumulations that resist the clean narratives of urban renewal. In contrast, the rigid field of monochrome yarn cones punctuates the space. Arranged in strict grids, the cones recall corridors, borders, coordinates, or defensive architectures, spatial systems that regulate movement, reorganise territory, and often accompany processes of gentrification: zoning, development, surveillance, and the subtle restructuring of belonging.

    Through this dialogue between softness and control, the work proposes a “post-geography”: a space beyond fixed boundaries, where belonging is felt rather than imposed or economically determined. Here, gentrification is not only an urban process but an emotional one - reshaping attachment, memory, and access. The installation invites viewers to navigate a condition in which personal memory and collective space intertwine, quietly redrawing the coordinates of attachment, displacement, and identity.
