Paperjellyfish
Art by Veronica Hodges
Stunning creatures that are carried along by the ocean’s currents: jellyfish. With her paper versions - a staggering 600 in total - Danish artist Veronica Hodges demands our attention for the vulnerability of the oceans, the source of all life on Earth. The installation will be on show in the Atrium of Naturalis in september.
