Connection through separation. Much like the recreation of chemical or physical processes to enhance our understanding of certain phenomena, Borderline Nature reconstructs artificially imposed boundaries between the human and non-human. It examines the act of border creation and the separation of oneself from the habitat in which we live.

First installed in St. Moritz, Switzerland, a town renowned for its luxury and exclusive clientele, Borderline Nature creates a stark contrast between the opulence of human lifestyles and the harsh visuals of NATO barbed razor-wire. In a place synonymous with exclusivity, this artificial stainless-steel, silver-coated border prompts reflection on the very concept of exclusivity. Alluding to the social and environmental costs associated with maintaining this exclusivity, born from the act of separating oneself from the broader part of society. Serving as a visual reference to conflicts driven by the consequences of the climate crisis and potential future conflicts.
