Imperfect structure
This is an unfinished, imperfect structure made of mixed materials. And on top is a nest, and inside the nest are some small things that may grow. We are always working with structures that are not always fully formed, in a state of unfinishedness, a state of becoming, in terms of, for example, public sector, democratic values etc. These are working structures, they are not really robust. The construction is not just a spatial arrangement, it is slow and needs time. The construction using different materials is not always fully connected as it is being built. But we work with what we have. The nest on top is a delicate, a life giving space; a space that nurtures things that are small and that will become bigger. So we try various things (the objects in the nest), they are far from perfect, they are small changes, and they are not always very clearly connected, but maybe they may grow.
