\"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\u2014often unaware, sometimes arrogant\u2014continues to impose its own rhythm at the expense of the environment.<\/p>\n
Within this context, I imagine a plant world capable of transforming itself<\/b>, finding new strategies to defend itself and survive.
\nAn organic, autonomous, necessary mutation: an adaptation that becomes mark, form, and breath.<\/p>\n
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<\/b>: organisms growing in an environment different from our own time, with colours and appearances that do not belong to the botany we know.<\/p>\n
Branches, roots, and vegetal bodies stretch upward, toward the light.<\/p>\n
It is a gesture of resilience and trust: the determination to generate new life, despite everything.<\/p>\n
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.
\n\"Beyond Plant\" is therefore a possible image of what nature might become when, once again, it is forced to reinvent itself.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
