Tell us about this artwork: What makes it unique?
“This video focuses on the tension between the natural and built environments. The footage, while tethered to physical reality, is aestheticized through video effects. As a result, the familiar becomes strange. Flora and fauna are suspended in an altered state, one of non-existence. The architectural, distilled to form and pattern, is removed from function. Failed stewardship has transformed the planet that was once an Eden.”
