Sigrid Yu – For So Much Connects Us
Statement
Birds, spirits, souls, and consciousness. Birds, to the universe.
Birds, the phantom of existence,
the messenger from the unknown.
You see them, hear them,
for so much connects us.
For So Much Connects Us is a spiritual journey with symbols of birds created by Artificial Intelligence, abstracted 3D pieces, and bird’s singing to the frequency of the universe, to achieve a higher existence of divinity and consciousness. Unearthing from both material and digital dimensions, For So Much Connects Us rethinks the mystical essences of nature and technology.
