* Maakbaarheid: the deeply Dutch belief that everything (even nature) can and should be shaped, planned, and controlled.
All good things take their natural time
What happens when you bring nature and maakbaarheid* together? Concrete – symbiosis began as an experiment, a study inspired by urban flora: moss and wild plants that always seem to find a way to sprout in the most unlikely urban corners.
We created concrete brain-pots, some covered in moss, others planted with succulents. Our search for the right conditions became a lesson in bryology. What was needed: moisture, shade and patience. No pressure, no rush, just time. Our reward? A tender fuzz of green. A reminder that not everything needs to be controlled. Some things simply take their natural time.
Concrete - symbiosis is created in collaboration with Sara Martin Mazorra.
