"trans/plant, No. 3" dwells in the quiet density of deep sleep, where the self rests beneath its own surface, held by darkness, pressure, and possibility. The seed lies within the loam, its contours softened, its direction uncertain, suspended in a stillness that feels both protective and confining. The work meditates on that interval before waking, when something shifts almost imperceptibly: a tightening, a pulse, a subtle change in weight. Emergence, awakening, begins long before it is visible, in the half-remembered territory between dreaming and awareness.
Beáta Ambrose (Bea) is an interdisciplinary artist and printmaker whose practice explores transformation, emergence, embodiment, and the tension between constraint and becoming. Working across traditional photography, letterpress, book arts, and alternative printmaking processes, their work investigates how identity and narrative take root through artifact, ritual, and repetition. Their projects often emerge as visual ethnographies of self and community, where the personal, the biological, and the familial intersect.
