A Transmedia Meditation on Botanical Memory and the Amazonian Mother

Abstract

Nuwarii: Encargo de Noche Ciega is a multidisciplinary film that through the performance of nature-inspired choreography with projected visual design, the piece reflects on the perception of time and the role technology plays in our relationship with nature as it recollects the memories of Nuwarii, a goddess representation of a plant, that is in the process of death and rebirth.

Speculative Origin

Speculative Origin

Poetry has always been an important part of my creative process. The freedom to play with words, ideas, and emotions allows me to visualize and connect with what I am trying to say with the piece. To understand how a plant would remember memories, I imagined and focused on the small but meaningful interactions they have with the natural elements around them.
