…explores how air quality data can be transformed into tangible, embodied forms that reveal the invisible effects of pollution.
In this trajectory, Marsha explores how that air quality data can be transformed into tangible, embodied forms that reveal the unseen effects of pollution. Their research explores the dialogue between organic and digital elements, examining how pollution changes our perception of natural environments and blurs the lines between organic and artificial life.
“Through materials experiments, technical development and collaboration with experts, I want to create speculative species that respond to and reflect the presence of air pollution.”
This study re-imagines the gap between data and sensory engagement and reflects on the entanglements we encounter with environmental forces.
“By linking environmental data to material forms, I want to create a sculpture or installation that “breathes” and responds to pollution levels. Through inflatable material and movement inspired by plant life, I want to challenge our perception of natural and artificial environments and invite the audience to consider their role in these interconnected systems.”
