In The Radical Eco-Chamber of Now, these sculptural works serve as reflections on the disorienting and fragmented nature of our current information space. Each image presents a collection of objects and forms that appear disconnected at first glance, yet together they evoke the overwhelming complexity of navigating modern media and digital environments.

The objects are meticulously arranged within a contained, yet seemingly chaotic, space—mirroring how information bombards us from countless directions, making it difficult to discern coherence or truth. The fragmented nature of the sculptures echoes the way data, narratives, and images are consumed today: incomplete, often contradictory, and stripped from their original context. This sense of dislocation is heightened by the interplay of materials—some natural, others synthetic—blurring the boundaries between the organic and the artificial, much like the blending of fact and fiction in the media we consume.

The sculptures themselves invite the viewer into a process of piecing together meaning, much like navigating a fractured information landscape. Each object within the composition seems to hold a part of a larger story, yet that story remains elusive, encouraging the viewer to reconsider how they engage with information in a world defined by noise, complexity, and contradiction. Through these works, The Radical Eco-Chamber of Now asks us to confront the way we process, filter, and interpret the overwhelming flow of fragmented data that defines our present.
