About

This nine-member collective transforms wooden blocks inscribed with words into an interactive meditation on landscape, power, and progress. Visitors become participants, constructing their own metaphorical cities while questioning who shapes the real ones.

The work foregrounds those often made invisible within development narratives—the workers, the displaced, the overlooked. As you arrange these blocks, you're invited to ask: Who decides what gets built? And who remains unseen?
