Hybrids No. 1, part of the Hybrids collection, emerges from time spent in a canyon of the Australian Blue Mountains, where filtered light, sandstone cliffs, and dense undergrowth evoke an otherworldly stillness. The landscape suggested both ancient resilience and fragility in the face of climate change and human impact.
Photographs of bark, ferns, and leaves were digitally reassembled through AI, producing mirrored forms that imply balance while their distortions unsettle. This duality reflects shifting ecologies and the pressures they endure.
The work becomes both record and speculation—a meditation on transformation that asks how landscapes persist when filtered through human intervention and technological reimagining.
