Synopsis

DIGITAL ARCHIVE: August to March 

Memorializing the impermanence of organic forms

Pointcloud renderings of floral installations

3 minute video

2024 — 2025

The Digital Archive series reimagines botanical forms as dynamic expressions of time, memory, and human connection. For CHROLIK, nature has always been a refuge, and growing up in South Florida, this means being surrounded by green subtropical landscapes year-round. Experiencing autumn for the first time at 21 shaped the idea of seasonal nostalgia, a recurring theme. This work explores the impermanence of organic forms, capturing cycles of growth, decay, and renewal, and translating them into the digital realm.

This video installation, August to March, is derived from the Digital Archive series, in which physical floral arrangements are captured and digitized to symbolically express each month from August 2024 to March 2025. Digital Archive, the exhibit, is currently on view at Mad Arts Museum in Dania Beach, FL until May 2025, introducing classic seasonality to a South Florida audience.
