Inspired by the layered histories and evolving landscape of Governors Island, Becoming explored the relationship between human presence and ecological succession. The installation transformed interior space into an environment that shifted from dawn-like luminosity to twilight unease, reflecting the ways nature continually adapts, reclaims, and transforms the spaces we inhabit.
