Part of the Geografie Errante series, Wasser Wessen is a surreal, oceanic composition that merges painting with objecthood. With vibrant greens and blues, the work evokes the playful yet unsettling presence of jellyfish-like forms, drifting cells, or amebic bodies — fragile lifeforms imagined in flux.

Made from ink, silicone, and salvaged electronics, the piece conjures an abstract seascape of submerged ecologies and hybrid creatures. Its quietness — the absence of sound despite the embedded piezos — heightens its poetic tension. Wasser Wessen questions belonging and dissolution: Who belongs to water? What remains in the wake of ecological collapse?

Its material language, both childish and uncanny, reflects a sensory encounter with climate imaginaries — where plastic, biology, and memory fuse in errant geographies of becoming.
