Ariel Ruby is an Australian-Italian artist exploring deep connections to places she has called home and those she can imagine. Her work creates vibrant, immersive worlds filled with glittering objects, rich narratives, and emotional memory. Drawing inspiration from folklore, storytelling, and ritual, she merges traditional techniques with contemporary themes. Working across sculptural and digital mediums, she favours practical effects over digital manipulation, using cloud tanks, dioramas, stop motion, and time-lapse to craft evocative visual experiences.
