Artist Statement:

Using Mississippi swamp imagery as a texture map on the inside of a sphere, Paras Kaul built a 3D model of a generic body. In Alien Encounter, an alien being assists by enabling both rebirth and transformation to occur. The attempt was to break down the hard edges of digital imaging and create an atmospheric, conceptual depiction of the artist’s experiences.
