Ada Sokół’s Flora Fusion 1 represents an oneiric plant species from the distant planet of Protopia, part of a newly discovered Orchidaceae galaxy. On this planet, the plant is believed to have miraculous powers, and has become the subject of many legends and fables. It is said that a potion made from a labellum from this unique plant will instantly make you feel an overwhelming sensation of joy and fill you to the brim with creative passion.

‘Can we grow the entire ecosystem in our collective imagination? How can natural protopia be shaped?’

The stripes on this part of the flower resemble patterns seen on wild animals living on this rocky planet. Some believe that they are the reason for this plant’s unbelievable properties. It is a rare specimen, so only a few explorers were lucky enough to see it bloom. If you ever stumble across this delicate flower, you should pay your respects and it will reward you with granting one of your chosen desires.

Flora Fusion 1 was created in 2022 by Ada Sokół, a 3D artist and designer. Sokół’s works generate ultra-sensory experiences based on oneiric scenes that resemble visions from the far future.

Flora Fusion 1 is part of 'Expedition Aequalis', an ongoing, interdisciplinary design-research project by Dutch Invertuals in collaboration with The Future Laboratory, Edhv and Reon Brand.
