The Lotus Eaters

By /
In The Lotus Eaters Wildenboer explores the repercussions of a disconnected relationship to the natural world by considering environmental aesthetics as not only encompassing natural territories, but also extending to the influence of human actions on the natural realm. The work centres around the ritualised theme of water,our complex connections with it, and how it interlinks a myriad of life forms on both a macro and micro level, in the physical and metaphysical world.
