Cloud of Petals presented Sarah Meyohas’s first large-scale exhibition and virtual reality initiative. Meyohas investigated the artificiality of beauty by enlisting the faculties of human subjectivity through a body of work that integrated sculpture, photography, artificial intelligence, and organic matter.
