Reflective Journey Virtual Reality

“Reflective Journey VR” reimagines my site-specific land art project within an immersive digital environment. The original work was created on an island that was not easily accessible to the public, which inspired me to find a way to reach a wider audience. By bringing it into the virtual realm, I could share the experience not only with people around the world but also engage a younger generation who spend more time in video games and VR spaces than my own generation — introducing them to my artwork in a medium familiar to them.

For Art Dubai Digital 2024, curated by Auronda Scalera and Alfredo Cramerotti and presented with Sanji Gallery (Booth X-8) under the curatorial direction of Juli Cho Bailer and Micaela Giovannotti, the piece was reconstructed in virtual reality. In this version, light, sky, and horizon respond dynamically to the viewer’s movements, creating a heightened sense of immersion. The mirrored doors and pathways of the original installation now exist in a space where physical and digital landscapes converge, offering a contemplative journey that explores reflection, transformation, and our connection to the Earth.

The VR edition also becomes a statement on sustainability: a form of land art that leaves no physical trace yet imprints deeply on the human experience. By extending the original work into a universally accessible format, Reflective Journey VR invites audiences of all ages to step into a shared act of exploration and awareness.
