	il%C4%97-dem%C5%A1yt%C4%97] work\nexplores how design can move beyond spee
	d\, efficiency\, and control—values often\nreinforced by capitalist produc
	tion systems. Inspired by fungal thinking and\nmore-than-human perspective
	s\, I work with living organisms to rethink design as\na relational practi
	ce. Working with Physarum polycephalum (slime mould) invites\nme to slow d
	own and pay attention to non-human forms of intelligence. Rather\nthan tre
	ating nature as a resource or tool\, I approach it as a collaborator that\
	nreshapes how I think\, design\, and observe. Enlarge\n[https://www.mediam
