Title: Rain Forest Holodeck - Altered Books Series
Altered book with found objects and repurposed materials
20(h)x12x6in

Altered book sculpture in mixed media, suspended to be viewed from both sides.
Designed to hang in a doorway or from the ceiling at about 5.5 feet high,
it transforms the book into a double-sided relief, merging text, technology, and sculpture into an immersive object.

It uses a combination of recycled materials to create a holographic representation of the rain forest. However, the piece also serves as a warning about the fragility of our environment and the devastating consequences of human actions. The Holodeck - a common reference in the Star Trek series - underscores the message that our planet's natural wonders may one day only be accessible through technology due to human activities, impacting the environment.

The artwork invites viewers to consider the delicate balance between nature and technology and our responsibility to preserve the natural world.
