In the Middle of Everything,
Onsite & Ephemeral Installation: Lime stone & natural piments on trees,
Imago, Natural Reserve, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, 2025
Deep within the heart of the forest, ancient and magical creatures dwell. Towering, timeworn trees have long been home to countless living beings—animals, insects, and, as whispered in folklore, ethereal beings such as fairies. Together, they safeguard the trees, illuminating them with colors, symbols and patterns unseen by the human eye. Yet, for those who pause, who take the time to truly observe, listen, and feel, the unseen magic may begin to reveal itself.
‘In the Middle of Everything’ is an in situ installation, conceived specifically for the site of Imago, nestled within a preserved natural sanctuary. This project serves as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of forests—an invitation to recognize them as vital, living ecosystems that demand
our care and respect. In return, nature, with its unseen guardians, might reward us in the most unexpected and wondrous ways.
For when we stand among these enchanted trees, we find ourselves in the middle of everything.
