"Morphogenesis" functions as a poetic ecosystem, offering opportunities for embodied interaction. The exhibition reveals metamorphoses of the creative process—transformations of materials that have taken shape through the artist's sensitive, persistent handiwork. This method is morphogenetic, a process of giving form to ideas, creating and transforming materials, similar to biological processes and life cycles. How do we perceive ourselves when faced with the boundaries between self and the Other? What beliefs and values shape our relationship with the environment and those around us?
Displayed sketches, drawings, and sculptures visualize the artist's thought processes and express personal bodily experiences. The exhibition intertwines found materials, soft and rigid sculptures, creative residues, and old works reinterpreted alongside new pieces, layering new meanings. "Morphogenesis" serves as a refuge for sensitive organisms, inspired by spatial experiences from Icelandic and Peruvian landscapes as well as the forests of Hiiumaa.
