The project is inspired by my ongoing experience as a trans+ person currently undergoing fertility preservation treatment at the Hewitt’s Center inside the Liverpool Women’s Hospital. Through installation, sound, sculpture, and interactivity, the project seeks to immerse the viewer in a space of emotional embodiment associated with uncertainty, care, grief, and waiting. 

The installation will transform an exhibition space into a predominantly white, minimal environment incorporating 3D-printed lavender sculptures, fragmented sound works, written material, and interactive elements. Audience movement and participation will trigger layers of spoken word, field recordings, drone, synths, and melodic elements, creating a non-linear and emotionally fragmented experience. Rather than presenting a fixed story, the work invites viewers to navigate the space and construct meaning through embodied engagement.

Rather than functioning as a documentary or overtly political artwork, White Lavender seeks to communicate emotional realities through atmosphere, sensory engagement, and embodied interaction. While the work emerges from a specifically trans experience, the installation aims to remain accessible to wider audiences through its exploration of universal emotional themes surrounding bodily vulnerability, care, desire, and uncertainty. 

The project combines traditional sculptural concerns with contemporary digital fabrication methods, including photogrammetry, 3D modelling, and interactive technologies. Through this process, the installation also explores the relationship between organic forms and artificial systems, particularly in relation to the emotionally detached environments of fertility clinics and medical institutions.

The intended outcome is an immersive installation suitable for exhibition within a contemporary gallery context. The project has been and will continue to be developed through a structured process of research, experimentation, prototyping, and production, with a focus on low-cost and accessible materials.
