HYDRA, MEDUSA, POLYPS, ANEMONE, ASCIDIA
2025, digital animation loops with sound, length varies.
The digital animations HYDRA, MEDUSA, POLYPS, ANEMONE, ASCIDIA emerge from the body of work Where Does the Rest of the World Begin?, which explores the entanglement of human perception, technology, and the living environment. The series continues this inquiry and envisions a taxonomy of speculative sea organisms. The hybrid lifeforms oscillate between myth and machine and evoke questions of origin, evolution, and relational being.
The animation loops unfold as digital environments populated by amorphous beings that resemble coral polyps, jellyfish, and microscopic colonies, yet are rendered in a synthetic palette of iridescent purples, viscous blacks, and bioluminescent pinks. The forms remain in a state of perpetual becoming – in their fluidity and mutability they appear to breath, expand and dissolve.
At its core, the series meditates on fluidity as a condition of existence — biological, emotional, and technological. It proposes an expanded notion of life, one that blurs distinctions between human and non-human, natural and artificial, organic and algorithmic, inviting the viewer to sense the continuity between bodies, systems, and the world.
