Description
Classical elements of nature (earth, air, water and fire) aren’t sentient. But what if they were? How would they see themselves?
These animations were built using scientific imagery from NASA and Hydra, a live coding tool.
My framework of thinking and creating cites the works of anthropologist Eduardo Kohn (“How Forests Think”), philosopher Michel Serres (“Biogée”) and researchers Pia Spangenberger, Sonja Maria Geiger & Sarah-Christin Freytag (“Becoming nature: effects of embodying a tree in immersive virtual reality on nature relatedness”).

Description
This master’s thesis exhibition’s modular design evoked intimacy within a cubicle-like space.
Taking note of the angularity of these cubes, the full-circle moment of this academic culmination, and the three disciplines of HGK Basel’s Institute of Contemporary Design Practices: scenography, industrial design and fashion design, a graphic system including a tri-toned abstract shape was implemented throughout.
