This body of work, REMAIN explores transformation and the fluid boundaries between human and non-human forms, as well as between human and planetary timescales. Central to Miria Miria’s practice is the use of discarded plastics—materials shaped by human consumption yet often overlooked or abandoned. In this series, she integrates uranium glass, adding another dimension to her installations. The works reveal two distinct appearances: by day, their playful, colourful forms shine under the light; by night, under blacklight, they transform, glowing with an otherworldly presence.
Miria collaborates with these fragments, allowing intuitively balanced, figure-like assemblages to emerge. Wooden supports provide an organic counterpoint, reinforcing the delicate equilibrium at play. Through this shifting duality, the work invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with the material world and imagine new possibilities for coexistence between human agency and non-human matter.
