Multimedia exhibition on the past, present, and future of shellac through texts, images, videos, objects, and magnified material samples.

Shellac explores the hidden worlds of shellac through magnification, material observation, and sensorial interaction. By revealing its micro and macro dimensions, the project invites viewers to reconsider the invisible presence of this insect-crafted biopolymer and its subtle relationship with nature, technology, and perception.

Through acts of close observation and physical interaction, the work also reflects on our collective tendency to overlook the materials silently shaping our past, present, and future environments.
