Sculpted from wood and shaped by scientific observation, Peerapong biomorphic forms straddle the line between relic and warning, tangled in the quiet grief of ecological collapse. These aren’t merely artworks; they are elegies for forests cleared, rivers choked, soil stripped bare. Deforestation, monoculture, pollution – they seep through the grain like ghosts. Originally rooted in Northern Thailand, the sculptures have been lifted from earth to concrete, now standing uneasily within the sterile geometry of a gallery. They appear both sacred and displaced – like offerings misplaced on the wrong altar. The installation turns the white cube into a kind of greenhouse, less for growth than reflection. What does it mean, they seem to ask, when nature must be framed to be noticed at all?
Until August 31. Free. MATDOT Art Centre, 10am-6pm
