Compost Spire - This work in progress explores living systems: compost piles, microbial heat, layered decay. They are prototypes and slow-burning rituals pointing toward a future where decomposition is understood as care. They shift, slump, sprout, and disappear, they heal soil and hold water.The camera only ever catches a sliver of these slow-moving performances of transformation.
To compost is to time travel. It quickens decay while asking us to slow down enough to notice it. Waste becomes soil; decay becomes care. Grief and promise work hand in hand.
The work is to help reimagine waste as a resource for repair.
