Using a range of mixed media, Jessie Vala aims to investigate historical and mythological narratives surrounding ecological events that shape and change our world. In her site-specific installation Object ^ Time ^ Conduit, Vala will create an immersive and enigmatic sculpture-filled space utilizing multi-colored lighting and video installation, giving the viewer a chance to explore the visible and invisible world.
