LIVING LAYERS

Imagine stepping into a world where nature and humanity blend, a place where plants are not just around humans but a part of us. This is the world I want to bring to life through my work. Growing up, I never truly appreciated the value of the plants around me. What started as a chore as a child, watering flowerpots and tending to the family garden each summer, became a quiet, alluring beauty. At the same time, I remember as a child the toughest thing I had to do in school was simply pick and read a book. I always grabbed the alluring and pleasing picture books because the images seemingly spoke much more than the words. Both plants and picture books were quiet and spoke for themselves. This fascination with visuals led me to Living Layers, a 360-degree pop-up artist's book that combines digital collage, typography, and augmented reality (AR) to immerse viewers in a surreal, hybrid world of plant-human figures. By merging the physical and digital, I invite viewers to walk through the scene and reflect on the beauty and imaginative link to nature. The combined layers are created to spark wonder and remind us of the quiet, yet rooted relationship we share with the world around us.
