This work began as an attempt to press the weight of intention against blind habitation. Upon arriving in Vancouver, I wanted to understand what it meant to enter into relationship with a place rather than simply occupy it. English ivy - a species at once familiar, accepted, and invasive - became a way of thinking through colonization, belonging, and the uneasy boundary between naturalization and occupation.

The work offers no answers, only an invitation to linger with those entanglements.
