Future Landscapes: Sphagnum Moss

This body of work consists of prints and an artist book that gathers prints, photographs, drawings, and fragments of text that trace an ongoing conversation with sphagnum moss; a living material that quietly shapes the future of our planet. Through its ability to hold water and store carbon, sphagnum acts as both nurturer and protector, forming peatlands that are among the earth’s most vital carbon sinks. The book explores this moss as a future collaborator, a being that embodies resilience, adaptation, and care. Together, these images and words form a kind of dialogue between human perception and natural intelligence, inviting us to look more closely at how we might coexist with, rather than dominate, the ecosystems that sustain us.
