Migrations Invisibles (2025)

The lichen doesn't migrate. It transforms its own edges, slowly, in relation.

Migrations Invisibles takes the lichen as both material logic and conceptual anchor — a symbiotic organism that holds two species in one form, neither fully one thing nor the other. Through felted, layered forms on translucent tulle, the work holds immobility and slow displacement in tension: not migration as crossing, but migration as quiet becoming.

The series proposes a wider reading of movement, inscribed in deep time, unfolding through silent relations rather than borders. An invitation to imagine other ways of inhabiting shared territory, shaped also by those who do not walk, do not fly, and do not swim.

The work found its own path. First shown during a residency at El Patio De Mi Casa, an artist-led community project in Pennsylvania, in a garden that knew how to hold slow things. Then to Grenoble, as part of Landscapes on the Move: Shifting Perspectives on Migrating Plants at Maison de la Création et de l'Innovation, curated by Marie Mianowski and Eugenia Reznik, who placed these pieces in conversation with botanical migration. To hear someone else carry your intentions into a room is its own kind of migration.
