No, algae is neither mold nor bacteria. O₂ Art uses safe, contained microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris), a plant-like organism that uses light to produce oxygen and help support cleaner indoor air.

Fear not! If you forget to water your O₂ Art, it won’t die; it simply pauses the air purification process until it’s watered again, whether that’s one day or one month.

O2Art is a living, sustainable way to support cleaner air while elevating your space with modern design. You get the benefits of cleaner air in a form that looks like art and fits seamlessly into your everyday life.

Since we are full-time students and make each O2Art in-house, our production time typically ranges from 2–5 weeks.

O2Art can purify up to 600 square feet of space if it is watered regularly and taken care of.
