Within this speculative setting, XHYDRA emerges as a fluid, disembodied consciousness—a state suspended between download and incarnation. This work probes the liminal zones between humanism and posthumanism, exploring themes of dying, becoming, and rootedness. It approaches natural phenomena not as mere representation but through processes of transformation, where the deliberate layering of media—sculpture, performance, body, and sound—serves as a central mode of expression.
