Becoming Sentient is an installation set up of a natural history museum representation based in the future. The display shows a number of hyperventilating creatures and some other body-parts. Similar to how modern day natural history museums currently contain specimens in tubular jars, I was largely inspired by the vast Wet Collection in the Natural History Museum in Berlin.
In this iteration, the imaginary museum is designed to be a fuller experience by creating the atmosphere of the space in a way that mimics the underwater environment that is natural to the beings. The audience is given the option of touching some of the body parts, something which traditionally isn't practiced in galleries or museums.
