Tender Territory and Micro Reality discusses materials and phenomena that occur on an ever-transitional land that continuously switches between the realms of virtual and real. The fictional characters in this work (The Wanderer, The Woven, The Melted, The Nameless, and The Taxidermized) reveal both the individual's and group's value systems amidst habitat loss, migration, and confrontation, not to mention the appropriation of customs, and the hierarchical relationship between nature and humans. They trace their past with symbols found around themselves, while predicting their forthcoming symbiosis that is to take place wherever they will be left to survive. The precarious beings, caught in between realms of the living and the vanishing, float in space as an organism, matter, natural phenomenon, body organ, language, network system, and artificial device, and contemplate their likelihood of habitability.
