Refugia

‘Refugia’ explores the indigenous flora of the sand heathlands, a habitat classified as endangered in parts of South
Eastern regions of Australia. Printed images of plants species are scanned for choreographed moving image sequences
that form a reimagined wildlife corridor. Such corridors are vital for maintaining biodiversity and ecological
connectivity. The title ‘Refugia’ refers to habitats that provide protection for threatened floristic communities—here, the fragile sand heathlands. The work moves between vibrant growth and hints of decay, reflecting the
vulnerability of endangered species and the fragility of life in the face of environmental neglect.
