Nature – Planted

Tag: Nature

Artist Alicja Kwade investigates the boundaries between the natural and the constructed, inviting viewers to reconsider their place within vast systems of time, matter, and ultimately meaning. Working with materials like stone, metal, and glass, her practice is a collaboration with the earth itself. She talks to Anna Borrie about her sculptures that challenge our human assumptions about permanence, value, and truth. Digging into how her work exposes the quiet absurdities and inherited beliefs that shape our understanding of the universe. She urges us to see with greater humility and curiosity and to have reverence for the interconnectedness of all beings. This interview is published by Planted Journal, a non-profit publication dedicated to bridging the gap between humans and nature for personal and planetary well-being.
