Riina Õun is an Estonian artist, designer, and materials researcher whose work focuses on the ephemeral nature of biodegradable substances and art created with “non-humans” in mind. During the meeting, Riina discussed her philosophy of shifting from an anthropocentric to an ecocentric way of thinking. It’s an ideal opportunity to learn more about her works, such as “Installations for non-humans,” “Garden Guardians,” and “Cornucopia.”
