Influenced by the New Age movement and psychedelic aesthetics, Vidya Gastaldon’s emotive, sensitive work liberates itself from concrete appearances and rational knowledge. Mini Brothers (Oak) bring trees to life through the addition of a pair of cartoonish eyes that seem to watch as we pass by. Gastaldon thus transforms an unremarkable tree into an extraordinary character, straight out of a comic book.
