Artist Projects
This ongoing experimental project brings together a collection of images taken from scans of flowers and other organic objects gleaned from the artist’s wanderings. Each element is selected for its fragility, its state of transition between the ephemeral and the perennial, like a vestige of nature in mutation.
Thanks to the method used - transparency, inversion of colours and transformation of textures - these fragments of reality become something else. The flower undergoes a metamorphosis, losing its original status to give birth to a new entity, a hybrid creature that is both foreign and familiar. Suspended between life and death, it seems frozen in a state of latency, like a spectral memory imprinted on the surface of the image.
In this way, the project is constructed like an imaginary archive, a kind of mutant herbarium, in which each specimen reinvents the laws of the living. These floral creatures, emerging from an undefined world, interact with each other and question our relationship with nature, with the transformation and persistence of forms. They exist in a floating temporality, halfway between disappearance and resurgence, between memory and oblivion.
