Can people meditate in a cyber rainforest? Can this deeply spiritual act take place in a fully digital space? Can nature be projected onto a wall—and if so, does it lead us toward a dystopian future, or open new paths for spiritual growth? Petrichor is my attempt to explore these questions.

Participants are free to interact with the space in their own way. They can wave their arms to attract butterflies, stretch their bodies to trigger different sounds, raise their hands to switch characters, or rotate their waists and watch their digital counterparts mimic the movement. The combinations are endless.
