The design draws inspiration from the intricate, interconnected networks inherent in nature. These include the complex structures of mycelial fungi, root systems, plant creepers, tessellations, and organic patterns that epitomize symbiosis. By referencing these natural systems, the artist seeks to evoke the profound interrelations and mutual dependencies that exist between humans and their environments, emphasizing the ecological and relational dynamics that underpin the theme of interdependence.
Osheen Siva is a multidisciplinary artist, originally from Thiruvannamalai and currently based in Goa, India, who engages with themes of identity, futurism, and resistance through the prisms of surrealism, speculative fiction, and science fiction. Grounded in their Dalit and Tamil heritage, Siva envisions transformative narratives of decolonized dreamscapes, futuristic oases, and empowered queer and feminine identities, often inhabited by mutants and mythical beings. Their diverse practice spans immersive media, installation, performance art, public art, and digital illustration. See their work @osheen.siva and osheensiva.com
