This work is based on a series of frottages made directly on tree trunks using iron oxide pigment.
On the left fabric, small areas were burned, creating openings shaped by fire, later connected by stitched lines.
Silkscreen prints of my hand lifelines, using a clay-based ink, are superimposed onto these surfaces, merging human traces with vegetal imprints.
The blue markings refer to the “flying rivers” — atmospheric flows generated by the evaporation of water from trees, which circulate across large parts of South America, regulating climate and nourishing ecosystems.
Through this work, I explore the relationship between human gestures and natural processes, between control and transformation.
It reflects the fragile balance of our connection to the living world.
