Biophilia is the term that refers to humanity's innate love for the natural world. The installation draws from the tension between the human desire to stay connected to nature and living things as we are lured into life in the artificial world of the virtual. Our body connects us to the earth, to the physical world, to nature. 

In this work, with our body and brain in the cloud, contained by a barrier, the spinal cord emerges from below and transforms into the bundle of nerves called the cauda equina, Latin for the tail of a horse, named during a time when we connected more closely with the natural world. An actual horse tail provides the link from the virtual to the physical, as it hangs to the ground and connects to the earth, represented by natural moss.
