This sculptural installation is designed to encapsulate a space within a space, engaging with architectural elements, weight distribution, and the curves formed by a sewn 3-meter textile. Its form draws inspiration from the natural elegance of lilies, reimagining the flower in a striking faux-black rendition. This creation is an integral component of a series of sculptures that ingeniously employ movement to transform their shapes.
“As the biologist Raoul Francé once proposed, ‘Plants move their bodies with the same freedom, ease, and grace as the most skilled animal or human, and the only reason we fail to notice this is because they do so at a much slower pace than humans. (…) People believe that plants neither move nor feel because they do not take the time to observe them.’ The author pointed out that plants possess intentionality and ‘can stretch or explore towards what they desire, in ways as mysterious as those found in the most fantastical novel.’”
