AARON IN LO - 2025

The Earth as we knew it no longer exists. Once scarred by war and ecological collapse, its ruins now serve as a distant memory of a species that could not save itself. But life persists, not as it was, but as something new. The Oankali, extraterrestrial beings driven by the need to merge and evolve, have reconstructed the planet, weaving from what remains of Earth's biosphere their living organic technology: Lo.

Lo, a sentient material that breathes and transforms, spreads across the landscape, replacing terrestrial soil with an organic, biological extraterrestrial matter, reshaping the planet into an alien organism.

Inspired by Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis trilogy, this animation imagines life after Earth's collapse, where the Oankali have reformed the planet into an alien organism. Lo, their sentient organic material, cradles Aaron in the depths, guiding his metamorphosis into something beyond human.

Beneath the surface of this new world, Aaron undergoes metamorphosis. It was born of both human and Oankali lineage, a construct of two species entwined. Now, submerged in the depths of Lo, its body is no longer its own. It is a fluid organism, unravelling and reforming, adapting to the alien rhythms that guide its transformation. Its bones soften, its skin pulses with new textures, sensory organs bloom where none existed before. Lo senses and responds, extending tendrils that touch and reshape, feeding the process, moulding Aaron into something neither fully human nor entirely Oankali but something else.
