Natural Fractile Series
The artist’s 2018 Natural Fractile Series depicts branches doused in arctic white, frozen and floating in nebulous time. This sterilized version of nature harkens to a tech-driven future that promises manufactured perfection. The series calls up society’s prevalent mediagenic mindset to suggest that the primary means of interacting with nature will soon be through our phone screens alone. Commenting on our increasing alienation from nature, the moment captured in the artist’s Natural Fractile Series has been sterilized to juxtapose digital interaction with the environment and the real experience of being immersed in nature. Much like our online personas, this presentation of nature has been heavily curated to only vaguely resemble the reality.
