This artwork challenges the conventional perception of household objects by transforming them into surrealistic settings that reflect on the boundaries between the natural and the artificial. Elements such as washbasins symbolize urban spaces meant to ensure our comfort but can also be seen as exerting power over other ecosystems.
By highlighting the close relationship between the flow of water and its utilization, this work aims to emphasize and question what we define as "domestic" today. The presence of fish swimming inside these objects underscores the irony and complexity of this relationship; it represents the intrusion of habitats, as well as the need to reconsider our perceptions and practices regarding the environment. Through this installation, we are invited to rethink our role in the world and consider how our daily actions can impact ecosystems and ourselves along with them.
