Harmony in Flux

The artwork explores the intricate interplay between artist, materials, and climate, challenging conventional ideas of control and aesthetics in artistic creation. Through a blend of natural materials, the installation embodies a dialogue between intention and unpredictability. Situated outdoors amidst the ever-shifting elements, the installation responds dynamically to variations in weather and time, offering viewers a nuanced perception that evolves with the day’s progression, wind movements, and atmospheric conditions.

Accommodating, fragile yet resilient, nature welcomes us despite the pain we are causing it. It wraps us around as a blanket and doesn’t question our existence. It accepts us as we are and seeks to co-exist and thrive with us. Viewers are invited to take a journey through a nature tunnel. As they walk through it, they are invited to pause for a moment, take a breath, and see how the silk moves and responds to their movement.
Nothingness?

Science and spirituality converge in Elina’s physical and Augmented Reality artwork exploring the idea of primordial nothingness. Ancient creation texts describe a vast darkness before existence, while modern cosmology similarly imagines an infinite void before the Big Bang.
Through a blend of physical and digital mediums, these works imagine that void – the space before light, colour, and form – and the moment of transformation that follows. The AR experience reveals bursts of colour inspired by the creation of the universe, visualising the transition from nothingness into matter.
