Visitors will encounter an array of creatures and elements within Noble's artwork, ranging from bees and moths to reptiles and cocoons. These creations aim to challenge traditional taxidermy, offering a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of various elements within our environment.

The exhibition's immersive experience extends through works like "Horizon" and "Infinite Bee," playing with the contrast between projected illusions and their real-life counterparts. These installations provoke introspection on how our perceptions are shaped in an increasingly digitized world.

"Dark Loops" invites viewers to examine the intricate relationships defining our existence. Noble's interactive experiences prompt reflection on the interconnected patterns surrounding us, emphasizing the significance of acknowledging these interdependencies in fostering environmental consciousness.
