Kira Hunt
Adaptive Ecosystems
Kira’s work blends art and science through the lens of biomimicry. Building on ten years of landscape design and urban planning experience, her creations explore structures across scales – re-imagining adaptive traits of tiny biologies and vast ecosystems as new innovations.
In 2023, Kira wrote, illustrated, and published the book “Imagining the Self: An art and science exploration of transformation.” Her 2024 research project involves studying diatoms – microscopic algae that grow glass shells – and exploring applications of their strategies in art and architecture.
Employing a range of techniques from digital illustration to printed works and sculptural lanterns, Kira’s art acts as a bridge between the living world and the possibilities that lie in emulating its strategies. Her projects invites individuals and communities to integrate nature into the creation of healthy spaces and to inform guidelines for regenerative futures.
