Latent Refuge for the Wild v.2

Five transparent fence modules are distributed across the outdoor garden space and concrete courtyard, formally echoing the structure of traditional garden boundaries while remaining open, fragmented, and deliberately unresolved.
Suspended from the acrylic structures, strips of transparent textile shift with the wind, generating a dynamic veil above the spontaneous vegetation growing beneath — plants habitually overlooked, removed, or dismissed as "weeds". These uninvited species occupy the margins of ordered space: the gaps in concrete paving, the edges of cultivated ground, the in-between zones that fall outside the logic of maintenance and control.
The fence — as a system of demarcation, ownership and exclusion — is redirected here toward protection and care. Rather than enclosing or restricting, the modules mark a presence that is usually erased. The transparent materials create a symbolic boundary that suggests protection without closing off space — permeable, conditional, open to movement and change. The work asks how existing notions of order, community and control might be reimagined through a gesture of care directed at what is habitually displaced.
