This collection is an ongoing exploration of how the latest technology can be used to deliver the new layers of visual interest and meaning to physical artwork.
One of the artworks features animations of a monarch butterfly and a common fly. The former is a declining species, while the latter will likely outlive us all. The viewers are invited to examine their emotional response to the insects’ appearance, movements, sounds and reflect on the future of biodiversity.
The other work features an abstract animation and sound of the heartbeat of a blue whale. The largest animal on the planet is endangered, but its numbers are currently on the rise. This work is designed to bring encouragement and hope.
In 2021, the pieces were shown at Art in the Age of Now, a group exhibition called “Unmissable” by Forbes.
