SAKURA – The Awakening

SAKURA (state of stasis + the awakening) is a diptych consisting of a light sculpture and a 3D animated short film. Taking up themes dear to the artist, these two artworks are part of the humanity/nature/technology trinity and question the resulting interactions and frictions. With a contemplative and poetic approach, this diptych stages the stasis, then the awakening of a female figure, first plunged into an artificial digital sleep, before waking up and opening up to a new reality. Here, the image of spring and cherry blossoms acts as a real liberation, an outbreak, a redemption, which reconnects our humanity to a nature too long forgotten, distorted by the digital borders that we have woven between us and the reality of the world.

The SAKURA diptych challenges the popular belief that technology will save us and solve all the problems we, as the human race, face. Meanwhile, faced with social inequalities, wars, biodiversity loss or climate change, we have lost ourselves in a sea of screens, where truths are drowned in an overdose of fake news and entertainment. We locked ourselves in the cave of Plato, and it is time for us to be reborn, to bloom again.

This diptych was born from the desire to blur the boundaries between tangible artwork and digital artwork, by declining the same subject through two phases of the same story. A way to strengthen the interactions between reality and digital, while constantly exploring the possibilities offered by the tools of digital art.

The second part of the SAKURA diptych, entitled The Awakening is a 3D animated short film, created with Blender3D and Unreal Engine 5.
