Luca Lee – Growth  – United States

3D animation that reflects on the passing of time from the perspective of a supertree. The work plunges us into a speculative future where all organic matter, including human beings, is extinct. The tree holds the samples of extinct species preserved and displayed in a virtual organic matter aimed to perpetuate life. The tree is a symbol of an element of nature that lives out for many generations – we will die but the trees are most likely here to stay.
