Hauntological Herbarium #19

Idea of Hauntology is referring to the return or persistence of elements from the social or cultural past, as in the manner of a ghost.

This implies a contemporary culture's persistent recycling of retro aesthetics and a sense of nostalgia for the lost futures.

Flowers and herbaceous plants are short-lived creatures, but when dried, in herbarium mode, they can be stored much longer and ensure the repetition of the stories associated with them.
Therefore, special conditions must be created for the existence of ghosts. These conditions are usually created by people, and sometimes people themselves become these very conditions.

Artwork is based on PNG layers (with masks), Disco Diffusion, python and p5.js code.
