The Being of Light, Landing incorporates processes of collaging images and objects to conjure heterogeneous and mythic experiences with the greater world, including our alarming imbalances with it. The centrally featured plant-person which I refer to as a ‚being of light‚  was inspired by accounts of near death experiences across cultures.
