Plantaholic

Plantaholic explores saturation and negotiation in art through plants, which fill the space, turning ornament into a dense structure that renegotiates attention, habits, and the perception of those who inhabit it.

Plantaholic unfolds from a personal spatial condition: the gradual saturation of my studio through the accumulation of plants. What initially functioned as ornament slowly reconfigured the environment into a dense, negotiated ecosystem.

As the vegetal presence expanded, it altered light, circulation, temperature, and daily gestures. Maintenance became ritual; coexistence required adjustment. The space was no longer neutral. It demanded participation.

This transformation operates as a parallel to the contemporary creative system, marked by excess production and continuous visibility. Saturation does not manifest as collapse, but as compression — a steady occupation of space that reshapes behaviour from within.

In the images, human figures inhabit environments where abundance borders on suffocation. They are neither dominant nor overtaken; instead, they exist in a state of subtle negotiation. Growth becomes both comfort and pressure. Care becomes dependency.

Rather than offering critique, Plantaholic observes how accumulation reorganizes structure — and how survival within saturated systems depends on the ability to renegotiate one’s position
