Vegetal microcosmos (2023) reflects on the photosensitive reactions and relationships between humans and non-humans, brings us closer, from art, to the scientific experience of the laboratory in a format that contrasts the polished with the organic. Through the encapsulation in epoxy resin of vegetable pigment from the residue of invasive exotic species, the aim is to make visible the contrast between organic decomposition, the ephemerality of vegetable time, and the permanence of the artificial.
Vegetal microcosmos has been selected for the A-FAD Art Prize 2023!
The sculptural speculation Microcosmos vegetal is a luminous exploration of the ephemerality and permanence of plant matter' has been selected in the A-FAD Awards to contemporary creation and will be, from this October, part of the magnificent exhibition 'The best design of the year' at the Disseny Hub in Barcelona.
Light, methacrylate and pigment are materialized in this piece to send us to the unexplored territories, fantasy and a little bit of magic that relate the plant world with the universe.
From the micro to the macro, the materiality is explored from its speculative three-dimensional representation.

Reactions and photosensitive relations.
Evolution, modification, transformation.
Graphic of expanded field, accumulation, repetition, susceptible multiplicity.
Exchange of properties through light.
Laser, concentrated light, interrelational paths, network.
Perenniality - ephemerality
System of opposites.
Laboratory - nature.
The unseen.
