Lost Thicket (detail), 2025, birch panel with 3D-printed bioplastic relief, 162 × 192 in.
Installed inside a preserved nineteenth-century log cabin, Lost Thicket reflects on the incompleteness of ecological archives. In the southern pine forests, industrial logging erased millennia of biodiversity in mere decades. In this installation, I reference sacred architecture, meditative practices, ecological loss, and digital artifice to create a subtly unsettling environment that asks how digital technologies echo extractive industries and reshape ecological memory.

Inside the cabin, I used projectors to cast video onto suspended panel walls with 3D-printed relief. A meditative surround-sound composition, built from field recordings and solfeggio frequencies, enhances the immersive environment. The relief imagery and animation originate from a photographic archive I created at Big Thicket National Preserve and developed through an experimental workflow involving AI and 3D modeling.
