Hera is a multi-modal artist from New Zealand, residing in Melbourne, Australia. She blends creative practices, mediums and disciplines—using sensorial stimuli, found objects and new media to distill surreal imagery into immersive worlds that bend notions of utopia and dystopia.
Raised off-grid in the forests of northern New Zealand, she developed a deep affinity for biological structures and the rhythms of the natural world. This solitude nurtured an enduring curiosity for human psychology and the interplay between internal perception, external realities, and technological interference.
Her work often explores chimeric hybrids—biological and technological forms tangled in dreamlike refractions of life and sentience. What first appears alien reveals its earthly origins upon closer inspection, reflecting the fluidity of nature and an ever-blurring line between the natural and the engineered.
