ABOUT THE ARTWORK

STRONG FRAGILITY “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.” Gary Snyder Natural resources in our planet are becoming more and more fragile and it is becoming urgent to take actions to protect them. Nature has always been a very powerful force and people have been talking about protecting and preserving her for a long time. Nowadays more people are taking note of this situation and are being moved into action. In this artwork, Nature is being represented in each piece of glass, which contains different organic pieces such as leaves, seeds, algae and also representative images of it. Glass evidences fragility and symbolizes the vulnerability in which our environment stands these days and the urge there is to protect it especially for the future generations. Glass is a material that has been used for ages to preserve. It has protected our houses and food and in this case it keeps bits of Nature, including Human Nature. It is essential to shelter our natural resources so as to heal Nature and give her back her power. Humanity without Nature wouldn´t survive, Nature without humanity would..

My process is all about experimentation. Maybe as I am a biologist I was trained in research, so I love trying new techniques, and estethic approaches. I work mostly with glass, using a kiln, so I hardly ever know what to expect when I open the kiln door. I find this surprise very passionate and challenging. Nature is a great source of inspiration for me, but I think the real inspiration comes from our own feelings and emotions.
