Participants co-created a large-scale net installation—a web embedded with glass “tears,” each one a physical marker of grief, hope, and lived experience. The net becomes a shared artifact: a future relic that holds the complexity of adoptee identity while imagining adoptees as future ancestors within an evolving web of relations.
