BIOS MORPHE

Bios Morphe is a luminous, site-specific public artwork that reimagines ancestral knowledge through steel, neon, and reflection. Rooted in the landscape of San Diego and informed by the medicinal practices of the Kumeyaay people, the work explores transformation through process, form, and place.

Native plants were digitally scanned and reinterpreted into layered sculptural forms composed of mirrored steel, bent glass, and neon light. This material language moves between the organic and the engineered, reflecting a synthesis of Indigenous wisdom and technological innovation, and a process-driven inquiry into interconnected futures.

Positioned along the campus’s main stairwell, Bios Morphe functions as both gateway and threshold, a spatial marker that connects past knowledge, present transformation, and our shared technological future.
