Elnara Nasirli
Artist from Azerbaijan
As an artist rooted in environmental technology, I draw inspiration from the intersection of biotechnology and mixed media. My work transcends conventional boundaries, weaving together painting, sculpture, collage, and installation to construct boundless biomorphic realms. Guided by the Greek roots of 'bios' (life) and 'morphe' (form), my visual language evokes the essence of organic shapes and forms. Each space I craft beckons viewers into immersive audio-visual odysseys, inviting exploration of diverse facets of the human experience, self-expression, and the natural world. Through this journey, I aspire to cultivate emotional healing and deepen environmental awareness. My artistic mission extends beyond mere aesthetics; it's a profound exploration of the transformative potential inherent in creative expression. By engaging with my art, both myself and the audience embark on a journey of neural transformation, discovering the resilience and liberation that can arise from confronting and overcoming life's challenges.

Air Oasis: BreatheCore-7
Mixed media by Elnara Nasirli
200 x 200 cm • Paper, Tree, Engine, Carbon filter
Elnara Nasirli, MXNZM
Mechanical breathing tree: reclaimed walnut tree trunk, fitted with seven cylinder radial engine, motion sensor and washi paper kirigami lungs with carbon filter.
“Air Oasis" is a thought-provoking meditative installation that features a walnut tree, which died of natural causes, programmed to "breathe" mechanically to mimic an artificial lung ventilation apparatus. The installation blurs the lines between the organic and the mechanical, offering an immersive experience that speaks to our relationship with nature and the unseen vitality of plants.
The tree is also fitted with a carbon filter cotton, filtering the air with algae-driven CCS (carbon capture and storage), pointing to a future where artificial plants may take on the vital role of purifying our environment as living ecosystems decline. Through this fusion of organic form and mechanical function, the installation reflects on the unsettling possibility of a world where technology, rather than nature, sustains the balance of life and only manmade constructions are present to replicate nature's function on the planet.
