Synthetic Nature is a multi-media installation that explores and questions the complicated relationship between humans as consumers and their environments. The work consists of digital imagery of natural and urban scenes projected on a surface of recycled plastics. I invite viewers to reflect on the interplay between materials and images in relation to their own experiences. My aim is to create an immersive space, blending sensory and conceptual elements.
In Siren Song, viewers navigate the interplay between beauty and environmental degradation, exploring the allure of consumerism against its peril. This immersive installation combines suspended plastic objects and ethereal vocals for a sensory experience, reflecting the relentless tide of consumer culture. Repurposed artifacts symbolize environmental detritus, engaging viewers in a dance with the materials embodying contemporary living. Haunting vocals echo the allure of mythical Sirens.
