"Beyond Plant" stems from a lucid yet restless observation of climate change: earthquakes, cyclones, storms, floods. These phenomena tell the story of a nature in upheaval, forced to transform itself while humanity—often unaware, sometimes arrogant—continues to impose its own rhythm at the expense of the environment.

Within this context, I imagine a plant world capable of transforming itself, finding new strategies to defend itself and survive.
An organic, autonomous, necessary mutation: an adaptation that becomes mark, form, and breath.

The first ideas for this body of work emerged in 2019. Since then, I have begun modelling sculptures in the round that depict futuristic plants: organisms growing in an environment different from our own time, with colours and appearances that do not belong to the botany we know.

Branches, roots, and vegetal bodies stretch upward, toward the light.

It is a gesture of resilience and trust: the determination to generate new life, despite everything.

Deep furrows, dark tones, metallic reflections, and the burn marks of firing speak of a vegetation that bears the traces of change upon itself, yet continues to evolve.
"Beyond Plant" is therefore a possible image of what nature might become when, once again, it is forced to reinvent itself.
