Maybe I wish that you were a forest is an imaginative conversation between me and my balcony, presented in the form of a video. In this conversation I explore my recurring tendency to collect objects and creatures, memories from the forest to my balcony, as to create a tiny organic habitat in the midst of concrete. I quickly realised how minimal my knowledge in more-than-human needs was. I wanted to care for these creatures, but I didn’t really know how. Did those trees even want to live here? Did the balcony itself want to become wild? The further I observed my relationship with my balcony, I realized how these creatures had become a remedy for my longing for wilderness. It seemed that I only knew how to invite them to my personal space through captivation and domestication. They would become dependent on me in this unnatural place, where possibly neither of us belonged.
