Whimsical decorations light up with life and come together in a celebratory frenzy in the last chapter of artist and designer Margot Bowman's three-part, animated holiday premonitions series. The London-based illustrator used holographic paper to create a luminous, ethereal Christmas tree for a future in which plant life has ceased to exist naturally in the human world. An angel-like figurehead with magical powers sweeps in to top off the trimmings. Here Bowman opens up to NOWNESS about her favorite holiday traditions, imagining what she might be doing when the 2062 holiday season finally does roll around.

What is your favorite part of Christmas?
Waking up and knowing that it is a magical day, and helping my mother to make food with recipes that I’ll never work out alone!

What will you be eating for Christmas dinner 2012?
My mother’s home made gravlax (Nordic smoked salmon with dill), which is amazing. 

If you weren’t home for Christmas, where would you like to be?
Floating in outer space.

What's at the top of your Christmas wishlist?
Time. 

What are your favorite Christmas decorations?
My grandmother made these decorations years ago which resemble bows which you attach to the branches of the tree with wire. They are tactile and were made with love, which is ultimately what this time of the year should be about.

Where will you be for Christmas in 2062?
In my water-based high-rise building with family, friends and magical Christmas decorations!
