Shelterworks is a series of images that explore the quiet architectures of care found in winter gardens. From fleece-wrapped plants to log piles and wildlife shelters, these structures are not just practical—they are social sculptures*, shaped by empathy, attention, and seasonal rhythm.

Built for protection and survival, they reflect a deep, often invisible relationship between humans and more-than-human life. In documenting these modest forms, Shelterworks invites us to see the winter garden not as a dormant space, but as a living sculpture of shelter, patience, and shared time.

*Social sculpture, a concept coined by the artist Joseph Beuys, expands the definition of art. Beuys believed art had the power to transform society, and social sculpture embodies this idea. It encompasses human activity aimed at structuring and shaping society or the environment. The central idea of a social sculptor is to create structures in society using language, thoughts, actions, and objects.
