Untitled #1
In Untitled #1, a more playful and experimental approach is taken by the artist to capture a different film by the same director. Miyazaki’s animated film, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, presents a sea of bubbly spores that emerge from fungus called Fukai, or the Sea of Decay. These filaments and tree limbs are the director’s depiction of a future of earth that is slowly consumed by a toxic jungle. In Rua’s interpretation, this deadly forest is transformed into a lively and vibrant intertwining of forms and colors.
