An ode to the ancient, an exploration of our environments and our selves, the unfamiliar and the known. We have returned, once more. We have landed, again. We are home.
Apollo ‘Landed’ is the initial iteration of the first plant exhibition to take place in Miami's Design District. All artists involved were invited to create, with nature as collaborator and muse, bringing attention to a living, shifting climate and all her inhabitants.
From May to July, 'Landed' will be hosting activations and installations focused on reconnecting with the environments around us.
Apollo has created a bridge to nature, art, and humanity by greening spaces through personalized design, offering services for plantscaping, landscaping, and curation.
“That's one small step for plants, one giant leap for Mother Nature.”
Lily Mustelier
I was born in Havana, Cuba and grew up in the Redlands/Homestead to an agronomist father. I quit Miami in 2016 and became a digital nomad between Europe and Mexico. In 2019, a quick stop in Miami to renew my passport, was my inevitable landing. Like a seed dispersed by wind, observing, absorbing, and collecting knowledge, I was searching for nutrient dense soil to ground my roots and expand into a blossoming tree. My experience is just coming into fruition.

Beatriz Chachamovits
I am a Brazilian artist and marine researcher. My work deals with the decline of the coral reef ecosystems. I make drawings, sculptures and installations that investigate and highlight the main causes of the state that coral reefs are found today. For Apollo, I turned my art pieces into functional art: pots.
Magnus Sodamin
Magnus Sodamin (b. 1987, Manhattan) uses an expanded painting practice that is at once hallucinatory and precise, employing a variety of techniques to blur the frontier between abstraction and landscape painting. His singular installations often begin with painting the walls and floors of an exhibition space with vibrant splashes of color, and then installing the space with similarly emotive, yet complementary canvas or panel compositions. The result is entirely immersive.
Jenna Efrein
Driven by socioecological concerns, Jenna Efrein fuses sculpture, installation and performance art relying predominantly on community sourced materials. Her work investigates the moral and philosophical tenants by which people live among themselves and within their locales. She achieves this by including the viewer into the work through her materials along with emotional and proximate relations. She stimulates social awareness and contemplation through a practice that invites viewers to participate both physically and psychologically. The impetus for her work is derived from experience, research and observation.
Jessy Nite
Jessy Nite is a contemporary artist based in Miami, best known for her large scale, outdoor text installations that interact with their environment. Her signature use of color and custom made typography cross a variety of disciplines, carrying a playful but deeply rooted narrative.
Natasha Tomchin
Natasha Tomchin is an artist, designer and coder.
Natasha is driven by her fascination with natural phenomena. Born in Belarus and raised in Nebraska, she’s called Miami home for the last ten years. Inspired by the clouds and lush flora, her art draws directly from her surroundings in an effort to connect more deeply with nature. These feelings translate across code art, painted furniture, sculpture, video, and projection installations.
