soft encounters

This research offers a distinctive, practice-led inquiry into the hybrid, queer, and magical potentials of everyday objects (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987; Grosz, 1994). By producing objects that misbehave, resist functionality, and blend natural, industrial, and speculative elements, the project advances understandings of material agency, posthumanist and feminist objecthood, and speculative practice (Bennett, 2010; Haraway, 2016; Moten & Harney, 2013). Drawing on the Body without Organs as a conceptual lens, the research explores objects and assemblages as sites of potentiality and relationality, resisting fixed hierarchies and functional determinism.
