soft_ruler reimagines humanity’s relationship with nature, inspired by Enlightenment ideals that sought to control and reshape the natural world. Once a symbol of power, this desire to dominate has left us grappling with the fragile ecosystems we now endanger. In this series, royal figures clad in floral-embroidered suits sit quietly within wild, overgrown landscapes—no longer rulers, but guests in this fragile world.
