Planet Tyau 309, 2024
Glass & Sprayed Painted Rock
Planet Tyau 309 is a representation of a futuristic earth like world that Leilani imagines could be a possible outcome for the earth we know of today. These glass plant-like alien forms would be an evolution/reincarnation of the plant life we have today and will produce a variety of functions for the environment and those living in the area. This installation is a representation of a Garden from this imaginary world.
