IT IS SAID THAT A CRUMPLED PIECE OF PAPER
CAN NEVER REGAIN ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE;
THE TRACE PERSISTS.

IN THE SAME WAY, NATURE WHICH IS
DISRESPECTFULLY INVADED IS FOREVER BROKEN,
AND MANY TIMES UNRECOVERABLE. 

To become one with the majestic scale of nature erases all sense of time and place. For myself and many, it provides an emotional haven—a space for connection, contemplation, and introspection. Yet, this sanctuary is increasingly fragile.

As part of my Topographies of Fragility series, I explored this vulnerability through immersive experiences in the Amazon and the Atlantic rainforest in northern Argentina, where I collaborated with individuals whose lives and work are deeply intertwined with nature, to create images that expressed their profound bond with it. From their unique histories and areas of interest, they engaged with my photographs of rainforest landscapes —printed on various types of large paper —crumpling and altering them as a metaphor for the fragility of nature. A performer, an Indigenous leader, an activist muralist, a philosopher, and a sound artist, among others, reflected on their own experiences in connection to the environment, using these endangered habitats as both subject and backdrop.

The driving force behind my work is the desire to highlight the conflictive relationship between humans and the environment, aligning with the urgency felt by these witnesses of nature, to engage in and enable an essential conversation. Once crumpled, my print will always bear its marks; our Earth will retain our actions too. Nature is revealing its delicate balance in ways we cannot ignore.

How can we foster a future led by harmony, a journey towards restoration that we forge by our actions today?

This is an ongoing project.
