Elnara Nasirli
Artist from Azerbaijan
Elnara Nasirli is an Azerbaijani contemporary artist whose practice explores the intersection of environmental technology, biotechnology, and the natural world. Working across installation, sculpture, painting, sound, collage, and mixed media, she creates biomorphic environments that examine relationships between human perception, ecological systems, memory, and transformation.
Drawing on organic structures and natural processes, Nasirli combines reclaimed and unconventional materials with technological and sensory elements. Sound, spatial interventions, and interactive components play an increasingly important role in her practice, transforming her works into evolving environments rather than static objects.
Her artistic research focuses on ecological awareness, resilience, regeneration, and the complex relationships between humans and other forms of life. Through immersive and multisensory experiences, Nasirli explores the boundaries between the natural and artificial, living and non-living, while inviting viewers to reconsider their perception of and connection to the environment.

Mixed media installation with live tree root
Climate change, as seen through increased droughts and extreme temperatures, is a major driver of deforestation and can have significant impacts on the health and sustainability of forest ecosystems, particularly soil biodiversity. Soils are home to 25% of all species on Earth. Root architecture plays the important role of providing a secure supply of nutrients and water as well as anchorage and support. Roots can adapt to create a protective barrier against pathogens, prevent water loss and aid the process of wound healing in plants. They stabilize soil on a slope prone to landslides and protect the environment by holding the soil to reduce soil erosion. Trees not only share water and nutrients but also information through mycorrhizal networks in the soil. They send distress signals about drought, disease, insect attacks and more.
