Thirst Trap

360° virtual reality experience

"In 'Thirst Trap,' the user is face to face with the artist as she drinks an entire fishbowl full of water.

As an artist living in the Anthropocene, I feel that it is my role to express strange and unexpected combinations to reflect on the adaptation that will be necessary for persisting in the face of a changing climate. Often working in the post-human realm, my goal is to more successfully incorporate the social challenges that exist within our own humanity, acknowledging their interconnectedness with environmental issues.”
