As part of my Topographies of Fragility series, during my Labverde Residency immersive experience in the Amazon, I collaborated not only with other artists but also with mediators from the residency to create images that expressed their special bond to nature. From their unique histories and areas of interest, they interacted 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, looked into their own experience in connection to the environment, using the endangered habitat of the Amazon Rainforest as backdrop.

The driving force behind my work is the desire to highlight the conflictive relationship between humans and the environment, in line with the urgency of these witnesses of nature to engage in and enable an essential conversation.

This is an ongoing project.
