OCULUS UNI-VERSE Sculpture
OCULUS UNI-VERSE, an interactive fine art sculpture concept inspired by the delicate Brides Veil Mushroom. Continuing her exploration and inspiration from the String Theory, the illuminated light of the OCULUS UNI-VERSE represents the extensive interconnected mycelium network beneath the surface of the forest.
Constructed in translucent fiberglass composite and LED lights, the sculpture stands 16’ tall. Landau’s illuminated dwellings glow and change color in response to sensors that register sound and motion and serve as a site for mediation, tranquility and a moment of self-reflection.
The OCULUS UNI-VERSE invites one into a haven, and in response their own personal universe glows brighter around them, speaking to optimism and the interconnectedness of everything.
