Serving as the initial research for this ongoing body of work, CAMBUCHE introduces the tension between the nostalgic childhood fort and the improvised urban shelter. By examining how identical, low-tech materials—branches, rope, cardboard—can represent both protected play and precarious survival, this first iteration explores the urge to construct a sanctuary within a hostile environment.

This installation acts as the foundation of the project, merging the endearing with the abject to blur the boundaries between domestic comfort and marginalized existence.

On view: A fragile structure built with ceramic branches bound by cotton rope, alongside two small-scale ceramic sculptures resting on branch-and-rope pedestals.
