I am currently focused on the problems of climate change, natural disasters and their social, political and environmental consequences. I explore, from different perspectives, environmental controversies, observation methods used by science, the plant world, shelters and adaptable or mobile homes. I imagine my works as ecosystems, which integrate the “natural”, “non-human” world and its relationship with culture. It involves everything from microorganisms to social systems, traditional artistic languages, collaborative projects and planting actions.
