ALL ABOUT
ART

series nurtures reconnection with nature's
healing qualities.
Collectively, the works foster a sense
of awe and reverence, aiming to catalyse
climate action. As Dasilva articulates
"each space transcends conventional
boundaries, compelling us to reassess
our relationship with the environment,
unlocking the intrinsic value of nature and
igniting a collective call to conservation
action.”
Moving between each work, visitors are
propelled to envision pro-environmental
and conservation activity integral to Age
of Union's mission.

The series:
Glacier Cave
Sensations of being within a cracking
and thawing glacier are rendered with a
play of post-consumer plastics, responsive
lights and soundtrack. Ice structures’
ancient and mystical qualities intertwine
with their symbol of global warming.

Earth Room
A live plant garden and post-consumer
paper structures immerse visitors in
earthly creature poses complemented by
spatialised sounds of isochronic tones,
proven to lower stress hormones and
relief from anxiety symptoms.
A collaboration with Nicolas Fonseca.
