Large leaf-like sprayed abaca and cotton forms, embedded with plastic hoses, connect to blower boxes or to the floor. The boxes contain squirrel cage blowers, operated by a microcontroller that rhythmically gives movement to the forms, evoking plant life. Multiple video projections add dimension, shifting color, casting shadows upon walls and forms and even the viewer, who becomes an integral part of the piece. Ocean sound is layered in, mixing with the audible “breathing” of the blowers. Interior glow from LED lighting adds to the overall effect.

“I think this collection from Sara feels as if each piece has a soul within it, they feel alive in a way that is peaceful and calming to me.”
