Vessel, 2025
5 minutes, single channel video loop

"Vessel" explores the concept of panspermia – the theory that sentience is distributed through the universe through traveling, germinating celestial bodies. The video reveals a translucent object drifting in the primordial waters of a desolate world, suggesting a carrier holding the first seeds of life. Neither fully machine nor purely organic, this vessel symbolizes how life might spread across the cosmos: not through organic matter, but through womb-like technological forms that nurture biological life. This work envisions a speculative future where synthetic and organic bodies come together to seed new worlds with hybrid ecosystems that blur machines and nature.
