Bios Morphe is a luminous, site-specific public artwork that reimagines ancestral knowledge.

The installation is rooted in the landscape of San Diego and informed by the medicinal practices of the Indigenous Kumeyaay people. Native plants were digitally scanned and reinterpreted into layered sculptural forms composed of mirrored steel, glass, and neon light.

Positioned along the life science campus’ main stairwell, Bios Morphe moves between the organic and the engineered, reflecting a synthesis of Indigenous wisdom and technological innovation, and a process-driven inquiry into interconnected futures.
