Wilder’s Wildlife Windows is a playful three-minute video that reimagines the facade of Austin’s historic Seaholm Intake Building as a meta-architectural habitat, animated by the creatures of Central Texas—possums, fawns, skunks, rabbits, and red-eared slider turtles. In this work, I merge architecture and ecology into a speculative form of environmental consciousness that is simultaneously cosmic and local. The scale of the critters continually shift, transforming the building’s grid into an illusionistic portal between human and nonhuman worlds.

 The goal of  Wilder Wildlife Windows is to gift audiences an opportunity to connect with Austin's unseen nocturnal urban wildlife, and to architecturally embrace the ethos of "reinvention." I believe that by digitally integrating projection-mapping technologies with trompe l'oeil visual elements and analog footage of Austin's wildlife, we can collaboratively re-envision the Seaholm building as a utopian "wildlife window" which reveals a hybridic world where Austin's architecture and animals playfully co-exist.
