Spirit Snacks
Spirit Snacks are made of pure Energy, a kind of "embodiment" of an ancient life force.
They exist freely in physical + metaphysical format, in three different categories:
The sea is the source of all life. It symbolizes both the great mystery and fascination of the story of our origins. Historically, spirits have been documented to appear in water reflections, most visible during in sunsets or when ships pass by.
More solid-looking, but still ephemeral and often floating in the air. We have been installing "Visual Portals" in the form of wall murals, installations, etc., placed at specific points all over the world. The activation of these portals enables us to see the spirits presently living among us.
Recently discovered, the spirits in this category seem to be both ancient but simultaneously from the future; our only working explanation is that they use quantum physics to exist within multiple universes, in potential futures or alternative worlds in the cosmos.
