The Sanctuary of the Unseen Forest is a video installation that creates a moment of awe that occurs when we embrace the presence of a majestic being, a giant Ceiba Pentandra (4°02'06.8 "S 70°04'44.1"W) from the Colombian Amazon. The project promotes radical thinking on a new ecology in the age of the Anthropocene. The project offers a shift to our daily perception, as the victims of plant blindness, we are simply unable to notice plant kingdom’s liveliness, they are so different from us that we have to invent new ways of seeing and apprehending them.The Sanctuary of the Unseen Forest seeks to foster a sense of belonging to a more-than-human world.
