What is Biophilic Art?
Biophilic art challenges our perceived separation from the rest of nature. Like biophilic or biomimicry design integrates nature into our cities, biophilic art helps us to presence a connection with our natural selves. By summoning up the senses and sense experience, and becoming present in nature, a pause moment is created, which develops into a more discerning emotional awareness of the climate and ecological crisis.
