Mastigias (the wandering jellyfish) "- is the model for a sustainability project and a participatory, socio-ecological art installation.
The huge art installation should have dimensions of 12.00 x 5.50 x 6.50 meters / 39,37 x 18,04 x 21,33 feet.
With its biomorphic forms, the object imitates a jellyfish that has developed legs and now leaves the sea and can go ashore to threaten humanity.
It's an apocalyptic allegory on climate change and rising sea levels.
