Symphilía is an immersive artwork combining crochet art and mixed reality technology in order to create an underwater experience about mutualism of the marine animals.



In this creation, delicate crochet sculptures breathe life into vibrant imaginary corals, while mixed reality infuses enchanting movement and vitality into the surrounding aquatic ecosystem. This fusion of tactile artistry and digital marvels offers viewers an engaging experience, inviting exploration of the intriguing and unexpected mutualism of this magical land.



This transformative artistic experience converges with the ancient wisdom of mutualism, bridging the realms of art, science, and philosophy. Symphilía invites contemplation of the beauty and complexity of the natural world, inspiring an embrace of the cooperative spirit of mutualism as we navigate our interconnected journey.
