The Microbial World

The Llamara Salt Flats in the Atacama Desert of Chile house ancient stromatolites, offering a window into Earth's primordial past. Our project delves into the macro and microscopic worlds of these unique structures, which are among the oldest forms of life. Stromatolites, built by microorganisms like cyanobacteria, played a crucial role in oxygenating our atmosphere. By exploring their intricate, living architecture, we uncover insights into early environmental changes and biological processes. This journey highlights the vital need to protect these irreplaceable archives of Earth’s history, threatened by human activities and climate change.

Humans often overlook or underestimate the significance of things that are not immediately visible or understood.

Stromatolite exist on the territory as colony, the underestimated stromatolite is an irreplaceable existence. They're like history books of the Earth, provide invaluable insights into the early conditions of our planet and the evolution of life.

We shrink further, watching as the stromatolite expands into a vast cityscape of organic towers and bridges formed by layers of microorganisms.

Emerging from the stromatolite's depths, we carry a newfound respect for these ancient life forms. They are not just relics but living archives of Earth's history, deserving of protection and reverence.

This journey offers a glimpse into the profound interconnectedness of all life and the intricate tapestry binding us to our planet's earliest days.
