In Flower Burial (2024) Nathan Harper explores the ironic disembodiment of healthcare by manipulating personal experiences with medical debt collection while alluding to early humans compulsion to lay flowers with their dead. Harper utilizes destructive digital processes to drop the viewer into a harsh, monolithic, and ambient soundscape of digital noise. One is left pondering the connection between our ancestors’ mortality rituals and our present day dealings with death and medicine.
