Heights
The Wild Within: Heights
2023, Edition 1 of 1
Heights from The Wild Within brings new life into an abandoned and historic building by combining photography with animation to create surreal, meditative, moving architectural spaces.
The structure pictured, built between 1890-1920, is the interior of an old decaying villa in the Dannawi neighbourhood of Beirut, Lebanon.
Once the architecture has been photographed, the images are then modelled into virtual environments and overgrown plant-life is introduced digitally. The lighting and structure is modified, a custom musical composition is added, and the photograph is transformed into a moving image that loops seamlessly. Furthermore, the piece features an original score by composer Karl-David Larson.

Aurora
The Wild Within: Aurora
2023, Edition 1 of 1
Aurora is a digital artwork from The Wild Within, a body of work that conveys a compelling narrative about the cycle of time, the resurgence of nature, and the socio-historical nuances of architectural landscapes.
This piece is a collision of the past and future, as well as the physical and digital worlds.
Aurora brings an abandoned historic building back to life by combining photography and animation to create a surreal, meditative, moving architectural space.
It finds its artistic expression against the stunning backdrop of a 17th century villa interior located near Torino, Italy. The architecture serves as a canvas to create a meditative artwork that brings new life to this timeless setting.
In real life the building continues to deteriorate and is being slowly disassembled, further emphasizing the primary theme of the work, the passing of time in a cycle of growth and decay.
Aurora, 2023
The piece was previewed at Architectural Digest's Design Show in Mumbai, India, September 2023.
