The sculptural installation TERMINAL emerges as a material and conceptual counterpoint. An abandoned modular walkway is recontextualized within the gallery space as a poetic landscape, evoking the desolate beauty of the lava fields near Námaskarð in Iceland. These types of structures—typically used to protect both visitors and fragile terrain in geothermally active zones—are here presented as relics of a suspended function, stripped of utility and reimagined as vestiges of an unrealized infrastructure.

TERMINAL thus unfolds as a romantic landscape in ruins, conjuring visions of abandoned futures and speculative worlds. It invites not only fantasy, but also a contemplative drift through layers of time—technological, geological, and psychological. Isolated and recomposed, these fragmented forms resonate with the aesthetics of science fiction and the sublime, offering a silent meditation on temporality, obsolescence, and the unseen systems that shape our immediate reality.
