​​The protagonist K (Josephine Thiesen) suffers from chronic fatigue and climate anxiety. Overwhelmed by catastrophic news and sleepless nights, she drifts into hallucinations where she encounters coral and algae. Through these surreal encounters, she recognizes a shared condition: exhaustion, stress and systemic exploitation affect all life, not only human.​ 

 

K eventually slips into a dreamlike post-aquatic world where land and sea begin to blur. There, she becomes part of a symbiotic ecosystem, wearing algae-based garments that respond to their surroundings.

Inspired by Donna Haraway’s more-than-human thinking, the work imagines forms of coexistence based on care, interspecies kinship and collaboration beyond human-centered systems.
