Pollier Pascale
Mara is a true inspiration and her art & science practice is vitally important for our times. she is a pioneer with her Geo-therapy movement an Environmental Artists who celebrates nature and promotes positive social change. She actively takes part in international projects such as Tara expeditions, her resulting sculptures are truly out of this world, she makes the microscopic macroscopic, hereby broadening our understanding of the subtle changes in our environment , which ultimately make a huge impact on our futures. I have had the pleasure of working with Mara, when we founded BIOMAB ( Biological and Medical art in Belgium ) at the University of Antwerp, and we have been showcasing our work on many occasions in exhibitions and touring exhibitions and in film..

Mara is an Amazing and talented artist who manages to develop her art in a way that is also contributing to our time's historical environmental challenge in a concrete fashion. She makes amazing art pieces based on microscopic shapes of plankton or other microscopic water shapes often using toxic materials (nuclear, plastics, chemicals) but also glass to symbolically capture those to raise the awareness about the prime challenge of our time: Pollution while making a beautiful piece to see. She also develops art pieces that become coral reefs to be used as "weapons of mass restoration" in the oceans around the globe using renewable electricity to feed her structures to increase the strength, growth and resistance of bio-rocks, corals, Oysters and other subsequent living forms that then provide nutrients to a wide variety of plants, fish, etc. An Icon of Modern Art in my opinion.
