A performance of fungal-human hybridity inhabiting collections of past and post-future memories held by the sands of time.

Distant imaginings reference crucial roles that fungi play in the stabilisation of desert ecosystems, while ritualised self-care practices rooted in resilience and resourcefulness reminisce a scorched and barren epoch on land.

This was a time some 500 million years ago, before plants had roots and could only access water and certain nutrients through mycorrhizal fungal relations. A morphing landscape of mutualistic adaptations allowed land plants, fungi and algal ancestors of plants to extend far beyond their original capacities for survival and experience across new terrain.

The dune spirits exist in a state of ephemerality, caught within the nature of their own impermanence.

Sand—vast, intangible and ever-shifting—mirrors the transient essence of love and the deep desire for connection. Endlessly morphing, dissolving and reforming against time, they struggle with the paradox of unity: though they long to be together, they can never truly hold on.

In desperation, they choose to turn into stone, sacrificing their immortality for permanence. Yet this act, though born from love, is ultimately an illusion—rooted in the human impulse to define existence through form and measured time.
