spiraling ashore - PARSONS eoy exhibition 2024
Resilient Blooms is a poetic, yet truthful multimedia exhibition about how humans in the future will experience nature, more specifically their relationship to it through flowers. It is a speculative installation for visitors to both physically and digitally interact with replicas of flowers through the use of technology and re-experience their connection with nature. The goal of this installation is to create an intimate way for humans to understand that despite our modern society, at our core, we are nature as much as we are technology and we have a direct impact on changing the environment. The three installation pieces within the exhibition are representative of what might feel lost in the future, primarily a sense of belonging to our ecosystem. Experiencing the loss of direct biological contact with nature for the first time might allow the viewer to reflect on our current historical challenges with nature.
The final exhibition is composed of three pedestals. Each pedestal focuses on one kind of flower and human interaction within it. These small interactions are meant to make the viewer aware of their impact on nature, as well as remind them that nature also has an impact on our living conditions, whether those are physical or emotional.
