Bosque was created during an art residency with NYLAAT in Governors Island, NY.  The fabrication of this project was made in collaboration with nature. Wood + natural based polymers,  derived from living organisms , rather than from petroleum, the traditional source of polymers. An interpretation of a forest, emphasizing the use of alternative materials and bioplastics to create a conversation about natural resource exploitation. “Bosque” is an exploration of the duality between inside and outside, peace and disharmony, the natural and the artificial. 

What if forest could regenerate at the same pace humans are deforesting?

The accompanying soundscape features a blend of natural sounds recorded in the island, such as mockingbirds, seagulls and ocean waves. Bosque is a fully immersive experience that evolved with the progression of the day
