Sea in a Box

This project is an art installation that addresses the aesthetic that is hidden beneath the sea surface.

I incorporated biomimetics and shape formation in my artwork to express the hidden beauty of nature.I was inspired by the formation, features, and hue of sea fungi such as Gorgonia ventalina, Clavaria zollingeri and designed a sculptural object to replicate some of those features. The sculptural object will be 3d printed and painted. I made images and videos which mimic the formation of that object. The video replicates the waves and changes in light and hue, adding a new dimension and illusion of motion to the art piece. I am influenced by the balance between scientific and art practice, allowing both to reflect on each other.
