Artist / Gelora Series

Augmented reality view of a Gelora creature: a preserved, scanned flower at the center surrounded by glossy gold, petal-like digital forms, with on-screen text reading 'Gelora awakens, feel around and touch.'

Gelora Series

2025–ongoing · AR installation

AR installations transforming fallen flowers into hybrid digital creatures through East Asian cosmology. The Gelora series explores embodied alienation through augmented reality, merging organic matter with digital entities.

Each Gelora begins as a flower found fallen and disconnected from its roots: collected, preserved, and scanned, then brought back as a hybrid digital creature guided by traditional East Asian beliefs connecting color, direction, and element. Sacred Tree: Summoning Gelora is the series' flagship web XR chapter; the versions below are its installation and exhibition history.
