Mycelium networks\, which resemble our nervous system\, connect plant life and share resources\, echoing how she imagined the world as a child—with invisible threads connecting us and all living things. Mushrooms heal—absorbing toxins\, aiding biodegradation\, and serving as medicine across cultures. Through mycology and art\, she reflects on how understanding these fungal networks invites us to reconnect—with nature\, with each other\, and with a more compassionate way of seeing. \nThis exhibition is guest curated by Prof. Jordan Douglas.
