Wet Entanglements is a bench constructed from dried seagrass, collected as beach wrack along the Baltic Sea coast. The seagrass is twisted into strands and woven into a long, low form with a recessed seating area. Loose ends extend outward from the bench and spread across the floor.

The work uses seagrass as both material and subject, adopting the format of a bench to foreground the material basis of everyday objects and the ecological systems those materials remain connected to. The process of twisting and weaving brings together many strands to form a single structure, reflecting the interconnected nature of seagrass meadows. Working with seagrass places the artist in a direct relationship to the coastal site it comes from and to the conditions that affect it. It refers to the ecological role of seagrass meadows, and to current pressures on the Baltic Sea. By relocating seagrass from the shore into an indoor setting, the bench establishes a direct, material relation to its coastal ecosystem of origin and brings questions of care and responsibility into the viewing context.

Studio Liminal Matters is a critical design and research studio attuned to liminality, the threshold where meanings, bodies, and materials change state. We treat liminality as one of the defining questions of our time, shaped by ecological breakdown, cultural transformation, and technological acceleration. We work with matter as both substance and question, listening to what it holds across ecologies, cultures, and infrastructures. Bringing scientific insight into dialogue with cultural knowledge and community practice, we use participatory processes, systemic thinking, and speculative inquiry to transform complexity into legible strategies, grounded narratives and tangible interventions. For us, design is an ethical practice of attention and accountability in service of more just, resilient, more-than-human futures.
