Gazing at nature inevitably means looking at perpetual motion. The sea and the river, the moon and the sun, the wind and the trees—all engaged in a choreography that sustains our existence. This movement is ever present, making it seem as if nature only works in terms of the now. Yet, beneath the hypnotizing immediacy lies a silent reservoir of memory. Nature is not just a snapshot of the moment; it bears the imprints of time's passage. MNEME seeks to honor this dual essence, capturing the swift shifts in the wind, the dawn, the dusk, and the flowing waters, but also the gradual erosion of metal and the inexorable rise of the sea. In MNEME, the ephemeral markers of the now and the lasting echoes of the past converge.

MNEME seeks to transform a breakwater into a pier that amplifies the coastal elements. Two lines of rotating modules unfold offering a visual symphony of data about the environment. Crafted from iron, these modules serve as both mirrors and weather vanes, featuring two contrasting finishes: polished to reflect surroundings and untreated to reveal humidity-induced corrosion. As the modules pivot with the wind, visitors witness the direction from which the breeze arrives. MNEME invites us to actively engage with nature's changing melody while reflecting on its omnipresent, enduring influence.
