Aquatic Imaginaries 

Aquatic Imaginaries proposes an alternative envisioned history of the domestication of fish and sea life from the UAE region, in parallel to the collecting of desert plants influenced by European settlers’ Victorian Parlour aquarium and plant collecting culture of the late 1800’s. Conversely, as it is in a proposed parallel timeline, it could be a proposed object that inspired European settlers of the pearl trade to bring back to Europe. This alternative cultural ethnography proposes a new type of AI Steampunk Orientalism art artifact for discussion.

The work demonstrates a lasercutting innovation technique developed uniquely for this process that looks like guilded gold on paper. 
The sculptures are printed with oyster-based filament.
