We are a small part of the cosmos, and our energies are linked to it. Ideas of regeneration, growth, and sustainability emerge from the cocoon of the pandemic to be deployed internally and for the world around us. In our existence, we ask ourselves what are our responsibilities to the universe? A selection of 3 separate video projections will feature elements from ancient forests, lava caves, fossils, flora, and fauna fused with text, moving mandalas, and light fields to encourage and raise consciousness about our place in the universe.
The web content for this installation includes longer full length video art works for viewers with sound. You may choose to view the physical installation visually and play the sound from one or all 3 of these works on your phone.
