Mila Kotka

I create bio-hieroglyphs in the 'wild studio'—the natural environments of the most beautiful and untamed places in the world. I use small elements of endemic flora and biodiversity (seeds, petals, mushrooms, shells) to convey nature's secrets through various contemporary media, including photography, video art, and virtual reality. I employ hybrid media to seek a balance between different artistic methods, nature and technology, ethics and aesthetics, as well as spiritual practices and science.
