The core format of CURA is a large-scale immersive installation. Viewers enter a darkened space and recline on an elevated hammock structure, suspended beneath a 40-foot floating screen. The structure—modeled after Amazonian ceremonial design—is constructed using sustainable materials interwoven with Indigenous cosmological patterns.
Surrounding the hammock is a 12.2-channel sound field composed of field recordings, ceremonial chants, and carefully tuned frequencies. Vibrations are transmitted directly through the tensile webbing, allowing viewers to physically feel the forest's presence. The soundscape guides the audience through a longitudinal flow—from grounded, infrasonic pulses to canopy-level overtones.
This is not a passive viewing experience. The structure itself becomes an instrument, dissolving the distinction between body, environment, and image.

CURA will also be released as a series of blockchain-authenticated digital editions. Proceeds from these editions will directly support Indigenous-led conservation and cultural initiatives. In this way, the project becomes both artwork and mechanism—embedding ecological support into its distribution model.
