Title: AIR-vatar (2023)
Canvas Painting, Lasercut Reclaimed Wood Orbs, Air Plants

AIR-vatar is an innovative mixed-media piece that blends traditional painting techniques with living, breathing air plants cradled in laser-cut wood orbs, creating a dynamic interplay between art and nature. The artwork’s title evokes the concept of an "avatar"—a digital or symbolic representation—suggesting that the plants themselves embody a unique personality, spirit, and presence within the painting.
This piece explores themes of regeneration, symbiosis, and ecological harmony, inviting viewers to reflect on the living relationship between organic and artistic expression. As the plants grow and change, so too does the painting, transforming over time and providing an evolving, interactive element. "AIR-vatar – Living Painting" challenges the boundaries of traditional art, offering a multi-sensory experience that engages both the eyes and the imagination.

"WOOMBLOOM" is an immersive installation piece that is shaped a womb—a symbol of creation and transformation—crafted from interconnected orbs.

Title: Py-AIR-mid: The Living Chandelier (2023)
Mixed media, incorporating laser-cut wood, wire wrapping, living air plants, and geometric sculpture.
10' x 10' x 10'
"Py-AIR-mid: The Living Chandelier" is an immersive sculptural installation that blends sacred geometry, organic life, and functional design. Composed of laser-cut wood and wire-wrapped, multicellular orbs, the structure forms a pyramid that cradles air plants within its intricate framework. Designed as both a chandelier and an energetic space, viewers can step beneath it to experience its presence—an interplay of light, form, and living energy.
Each air plant holder serves as a modular building unit, akin to a molecule, capable of combining into infinite forms. This modular system has given rise to a diverse range of structural pieces, from Air Plant Pyramids to Air Plant Wands, Pants, Antennas, Crowns, Nails, and an endless array of wearable art. By merging nature with architectural and sculptural elements, the Living Py-AIR-mid Chandelier embodies a vision of interconnected life, where art, ecology, and geometry unite in limitless creative expression.
This piece is part of AirPlantNina's ARTekture Living Installation Art series, a collection of transformative works that redefine the relationship between plants, space, and human interaction—where nature is not just observed but actively engaged with as a living force within design.
