The works included focus on aesthetic investigations into the interconnection between the human and the environment, and the environment in the human.

‍Taking Dylan Thomas’ poem as a reference point, The force that through the green fuse drives the flower (1934), the exhibition explores the paradox of creative and destructive forces coming together in human nature and the biological.
