“Mother of the Forest is a virtual reality, immersive experience that explores a sequoia tree’s ecosystem through embodied perspectives of various species. It illustrates the complex webs of a sequoia forest that needs us, just as much as we need it.”
Kylie Caraway is an animator, storyteller, and educator whose work bridges fields including digital media production, environmental communication, speculative fiction, and information visualization.
