Participatory installation

Acceptance explores how a space can coexist with its surroundings without imposing itself on them.

The project began with observations of pigeons and other birds in public spaces, exploring how they respond to changes in their environment and interact with unfamiliar objects. This research led to the idea that a space could be passive rather than fixed, allowing outside influences to shape its form.

The installation is a soft, house-like structure hand-knitted from hemp yarn and filled with small wood chips. When people sit, lean, or push against it, the structure changes shape and releases wood chips through its surface. The original form can be restored by refilling it.

Rather than defining a fixed territory, the work allows its surroundings and the actions of others to become part of its form.
