Alive Again
"Alive Again" explores the intersection between the physical and digital realms through the revival of a deceased bonsai plant in the digital space. The plant was 3D scanned using Polycam and converted into a point cloud. This project seeks to breathe new life into the once-lost, inviting viewers to reflect on the transient nature of existence and the possible dialogues between man, machine, and nature.

Flōrens, an augmented reality experience, transforms our perception of gardens by leading users into an alternate realm. In this digital landscape, concealed plants and plant-like beings come to life through touch or discovering hidden symbols, challenging traditional notions of a garden. The project prompts participants to question preconceived ideas about gardens and redefines our understanding of nature and the emerging 'new unknown' by intertwining the virtual and the physical.

Users who navigate the augmented reality garden actively reshape their environment, becoming integral to the unfolding narrative
