[ FOREST OF GLASS ]

[ 2021 ]

Forest of glass is a natural wonder to me, and imagines the forest of sponges at the bottom of the ocean. The silica organism can make the weirdest looking shapes forming lacy, elaborate, semigeometrical glass skeletons that anchor themselves by a root made of bundles of fiber glass that plunge into soft sediment seafloor.

[ ENDANGERED ]

[ 2022/2025 ]

Endangered was born as a daily record of how each species faces extinction, each point and dot forming a picture that can disappear the day when there won't be enough individuals to form the group anymore. A collection of the sea animals most at risk is presented in ink on paper, digitalized.

[ THE LONG MIGRATION ]

[ 2024 ]

Nature's wonders. The arctic tern is a small water-loving bird that hatches during summer in the Arctic Circle in the Northern hemisphere. During the extremely cold, dark winter, the arctic tern flies south, following the summer season all the way to the Antarctic Circle, covering more than 30.000 km from one pole to the other.
