This artwork is composed of eight glass tubes, each containing a distinct hue of blue derived from cyanobacteria.
Displayed as a gradient, the tubes reflect the natural biodegradation of the pigment over time — from vibrant saturation to subtle fading. Each tube represents one month in the life of the color, forming an evolving portrait of living matter and its impermanence.
«Cyanoscape» is both a material archive and a meditation on transformation — where science, time, and marine life converge in shades of blue.
This artwork was grown — not built. Every part of it comes from the ocean: the polymer, the pigment, even the salt. Algae gave its structure. Bacteria gifted its color. Evaporation shaped its final form.
Research: Chromatic Study (Blue, Black) – Transition from Petrochemistry to a New Marine Polymer.
