Art made of the air we breathe

Exploring the Carboniferous era's clean air, the artwork invites us to breathe as giants once did, energizing our bodies and spirits.

Recreating the air from the Great Dying reveals a warm, slightly soda-water flavored atmosphere, provoking thought on life's resilience.

Breathing art: Experience air from Earth's past, taste the Carboniferous's fresh zing, the Great Dying's calm, and future's heavy load.
