Earth, water, fire, air and space — each of these elements shapes the world around us and the world within us. All bear the marks of pollution, yet all retain their capacity for purification.
Prima Materia invites visitors into an alchemical laboratory to explore the nature of the elements. Here they are embodied in objects by Balance is Motion — laboratory glass meets natural materials, precision meets the rawness of primal matter, offering a sensory experience beyond mere observation.
Accompanying illustrations by Maria Makeeva speak poetically of the elements in the environments we inhabit, portraying the approaches JRD applies in creating spaces for healthy living — such as rooftop wetlands that purify water and support biodiversity.
