This photographic series explores transformation, decay, and regeneration through mycelium and crustacean shells. Blending trauma studies with bio-material experimentation, I trace how organic matter becomes an archive of time—recording both ecological and emotional scars. Influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of "mono no aware," I approach the landscape not as scenery, but as a surface marked by impermanence, fragility, and quiet survival. The images, created through staged growth and decomposition, reflect on how invisible biological forces echo the internal healing of the body.
