In Narva, the work lived within its original environment. The old wallpaper, the hum of the architecture, the ambiguity between installation and decay became part of the experience. A small chair held a zine-book of the poem. The projection layered visuals and sound: toxic water disguised as sea, overlapping voices, and the fragile dissonance between beauty and harm. | In Narva, the work lived within its original environment.

In a clean glass room overlooking the city, the projection played on a white screen. A long scroll of paper, again handwritten, unrolled across the table and floor, next to oil-shale stones and glass worn smooth by the sea. Visitors could listen through headphones, hearing the overlapping voices of the poem alongside ocean sound. The view outside invited a new kind of contemplation, distance, change of view and perspective. | |||

In both versions, the work asked if we see the "MOSS", the small, persistent life, as important, challenging our definitions of value and purpose. The MUSHroom, like the poem itself, becomes an unlikely witness: a quiet, persistent thing, recreating itself from ruin, refusing to be erased. | In both versions, the work asked if we see the "MOSS", the small, persistent life, as important, challenging our definitions of value and purpose.
