Organically shaped tulle sculptures rise to different heights. Their ethereal shadows appear and disappear asynchronously under the effect of light spots coming from a video projection. Echoing nature's cycles of decay and regeneration, when these spots fade, they give way to a generative animation of lines that propagate across the tulle, evoking diffusion-reaction systems. These patterns recall recurring ramified structures in nature: tree branches, roots, or the flow of water over the sand of a beach...

By abstractly reinterpreting the geometry of natural landscapes through the gesture of iteration and undulation, this installation evokes a secret, imaginary forest populated by as-yet unidentified creatures...

Inspired by an image found on a biology sub-forum but also by all the unexpected encounters you can experience in a forest, this work challenges our conventional perception of natural environments and tend to evoke shapes that blur the boundaries between the organic and the surreal, inviting the public to imagine the vastness of life forms and stories that forests might conceal.
