​​

​​Mutations is a series of 3D graphic objects, animations and prints that explore the ideas of fictional biological mutations after the global pandemic of COVID-19. The artist imagines how the virus could affect humanity, and nature as a whole as well as different species. In this imagery the flowers acquire human features, the feet grow from the middle of the buds, the hands grow surrounded by petals etc.
This work Mutation 1 represents a prehistoric giant Titan Arum flower, whose genes were mixed with the human genes, and as a result, a new species appeared. Bio-digital Mutations occur unexpectedly and a modular hospital is a perfect place to explore it in a seemingly safe environment.
