IN NUCLEUS reveals the persistent cycles of destruction and creation. Inspired by Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis, a parasite that dominates, controls, and ultimately ends the lives of ants.

FERRELYTE is an artist duo consisting of Kamile Pikelyte and Victoria Björk Ferrell. Founded in late 2022, the collaborative project began as an exploration of the intersection between their practices, with a focus on cataclysmic and ecological themes.

The piece was displayed at the Enchanting Portals exhibition, which took place at the old herring factory in the Westfjords of Iceland.
