'In Bloom' is a story of redemption, overcoming the darkest days in one's life to find light again.
In collaboration with Oxford University, virtual + augmented reality artist Estella Tse shares her story of overcoming Complex PTSD and debilitating Depression through her immersive art. You'll find moments, snapshots, and explorations from four of Estella's phases: The Darkest Days, Recovering and Doing the Work, Rebuild, and Thrive. Each piece is a seedling that shapes and colours the larger ecosystem of Estella's life and growth. You'll also find integrated works by Oxford researchers.
This exhibition uses augmented reality (AR) which is an interactive experience that combines the real world and computer-generated content. Your exhibition guides will introduce you to the experience and the technology.
