The project 4 Elements introduces four symbolic color-coded agents #ccff00, #000000, #c0c0c0, and #cc99ff through textile objects and installation in public space. These agents operate at the intersection of speculative fiction, game design, and posthuman myth-making, forming a visual scenario for possible future LARP-based narratives. Drawing from posthumanist, feminist, and environmental theory, the work addresses the tensions of creating amidst climate crisis, political instability, and dominant anthropocentric systems. It embraces nonlinearity and multispecies entanglements by situating its presence within the landscape as a porous, temporary gesture. Expanding on earlier experiments with participatory movement and costume in public space, the project resists fixed meaning in favor of symbolic drift—proposing alternative modes of being, sensing, and assembling in a world marked by collapse and transformation.
