Place without Possession
This series reimagines traditional national and nautical flags using delicate hand-pressed flowers. Built from the shared visual language of flags, such as stripes, crosses, circles and simple geometric forms, the works explore the contrast between fragile natural materials and symbols usually associated with power, territory and identity.
Historically, flags have been used to mark territory, communicate across distance or create fixed systems of identity and instruction.
By reconstructing these coded systems with organic, slowly changing materials, the works shift away from authority and ownership towards something softer: ideas of place, connection and our evolving relationship with nature and the land.
