Viral Planting
Viral Planting presents a striking visual of a virus emerging from a vibrant cluster of plastic flowers, a façade that disintegrates upon closer examination. Images of viruses, appropriated from various media sources, are magnified to such an extent that their surfaces dissolve into pixels. Each image forms the foundation for a bed of plastic flowers, where the pixels are transformed into flower buds.
Viral Planting critiques our fascination with viral disasters and pandemics. Each new arrangement of flowers reflects the latest viruses that dominate media headlines, With each iteration, Viral Planting adds to this evolving collection, inviting viewers to engage with this juxtaposition of beauty and danger.
