Fragile Futures is an ongoing sculptural project exploring the paradox of preservation in the Anthropocene: we admire and seek to protect nature through systems that also generate waste and contribute to its fragility.

The exhibition transforms residue from desktop 3D printing - failed prints, supports and excess material - into marine, bodily and speculative forms. Rather than conceal the by-product of fabrication, the work brings it into view.

Beauty, familiarity and careful arrangement establish trust before material contradictions begin to emerge. Across three interconnected zones, viewers move from attraction, through recognition of the systems beneath the objects, toward uncertain futures shaped by the choices we collectively make.

The marine body of work is continuing to develop through 2026. Fragile Futures can be presented as a substantial three-zone exhibition or adapted to suit different gallery footprints while preserving its conceptual progression.
