Multiplicity, Vol. I: The Organism

Multiplicity is a two-part exhibition exploring identity not as a single, fixed entity, but as a growing, branching plant. It visualizes the human psyche not as a linear, chronological family tree, but as a fluid map of connections and encounters we forge throughout our lives. It explores the idea that every person we meet holds a slightly different version of us in their mind; with every new path we cross, more versions of ourselves are created. Spread across two locations, the exhibition uses the metaphor of a "tree of the self" and navigates the tension between the flowing, active narrative of who we are, while also exploring the dormant topography of who we might have been.

Multiplicity, Vol. I: The Organism presents a monumental 8-meter-long watercolor on unstretched cotton. It depicts a continuous botanical vine that grows human heads instead of flowers, representing multiple iterations of the same self. The massive suspended canvas invites viewers to physically walk along the "border" of the self. Dropping vertically through the space and pooling onto the floor, the work reveals identity as an organic, shifting structure developed through constant, visible exchange.
