The world around us is shaped by our choices, our desires, and our mistakes, and with each decision the natural balance grows more fragile. We still cling to the idea of oppositions: human versus nature, technology versus life, etc. But these divisions are illusions. Everything is intertwined, like the threads of a mycelium network or the delicate balance of a coral reef.
Mushrooms are often seen as symbols of decay, but they also stand for cooperation, healing, and new beginnings. Their underground networks help plants and trees communicate and share nutrients. Perhaps we can learn from their way of living: growing without overwhelming, connecting without suffocating.
The exhibition invites you to reflect on growth itself. When does growth nourish life, and when does it destroy it? And more importantly: what kind of growth do we want to leave behind for the future?
