Ambient Ocean in Rotation
Description:
Urban life is built on the subjugation of Nature, yet we depend on the Natural World for survival. Microscopic plankton provide at least half the oxygen we breathe and form the foundation of the food chain, yet they are easily forgotten. Reminding urban dwellers of the importance of plankton, we playfully treat plankton as living subjects. Beginning with high-resolution grayscale photographs of non-living plankton, the imagery combines hand drawing and photography with digital and analogue processes, Vivid color and atmospheric textures are aesthetic expressions of their life force.
