Comet Tree

Comet Tree (2019) acts in many ways as a warning, inspired by Jon Lomberg 's science fiction painting depicting the visionary world of future environments. Freeman Dyson, the theoretical physicist posited the idea that tree-like genetically modified plants can be grown in comets using photosynthesis from solar energy. The possibility of imagined future outer space biospheres triggers senses of awe and wonder, but this is laden with anthropogenic guilt at the thought of seeking future worlds as a response to human caused climate disasters on earth.
