The work of Daniella van Hemelryck addresses the persistence of natural, atmospheric, and stellar environments as systems that transform and reorganize across different spatial and temporal scales.

Some series develop this investigation through atmosphere, light, and color, where environments are articulated without reference to figures or events. Others expand toward cosmic and planetary conditions, addressing celestial atmospheres and processes of stellar evolution.

‍SIGLO XXX anchors this exploration by reintroducing human history solely as residue. Abandoned statues, altered ecosystems, and biological mutations appear as traces of a past presence, situated within environments that continue to evolve after humanity has left Earth.

Taken together, the series establish a coherent framework in which light conditions, extended temporal scales, and cultural aftermath coexist, offering multiple perspectives on what endures after humanity is gone.
