My project aims to elevate the non human by working through an object oriented ontology perspective, a framework that rejects the privileging of human existence over the existence of other beings. The objects form their own boundaries by restricting the human body to interact among them through specific positioning, situating humans as secondary and non humans with their own sense of agency and control - offsetting ego and creating a trustful exchange to reset our anthropocentric instincts. Through oscillating between familiar and strange, we can embrace difference not as rigid separation but as uncanny affinity, we see that humans are more like non humans, and non humans are more like humans.
