Anthrobiology

Polymorph, Plastic bottles, paint, wire

Glowing with a synthetic luminescence, Zoa Verse reimagines coral lifeforms through a lens of discarded material and vibrant fluorescence. These dome-like colonies echo the structure and rhythm of zoanthids, organisms that are both ancient and ephemeral, yet they are entirely artificial, composed of cut plastic bottles and UV-reactive paint.

The work conjures an uncanny ecosystem: alive with colour, yet chemically preserved. By day, its painted surfaces flicker with intricate detail; by night, it pulses with light, reflecting in nearby water like a hallucinated reef. Zoa Verse inhabits the tension between ecological loss and synthetic rebirth, inviting viewers into a future where nature is reassembled, remembered, or perhaps replaced.

Fanta bottles, paint, wire, fabric, buttons

Phantaform is a study in transformation, discarded plastic and fabric reworked into a form that hovers between familiar and strange. Its veined surfaces and tangled limbs echo natural patterns but resist easy categorisation. Through careful shaping of everyday waste, the work reveals unexpected beauty and complexity within synthetic materials. It reconfigures the throwaway into something speculative, alive with contradictory impulses: fragile and oddly resilient, delicate and garish, playful and unsettling. It presents an object showing how even the most mundane remnants can take on new life through art.
