This work looks at the increasingly unstable rhythms of nature amid a changing climate. The cycle of the seasons, once relatively stable and predictable, is gradually becoming unsettled. Winters are warmer than before, the boundaries between seasons are blurring, and ecosystems find themselves needing to seek a new balance within this altered environment.
The Gribs focuses on the very uncertainty felt within this change. Rather than depicting a specific place or event directly, the work expresses a state in which nature seems suspended between dormancy and activity, existence and erosion—a moment caught at the threshold, neither fully asleep nor having regained its balance.
The form of the sculpture, too, looks less like something finished or settled than like a process still underway. Through this, they seek to capture the fragile tension that nature maintains within a constantly changing environment. The work quietly reveals that the order of nature we have long taken for granted may no longer be fixed.
