Vitae Vestigia – Traces of Life

 

Country

United Kingdom

 

Wheatgrass roots grown in the hollows of human skeletal forms. Blending natural growth with sculptural intervention, the work explores cycles of life, death, and transformation. Encased in glass vitrines, these delicate structures evoke memento mori and the uncanny, inviting reflection on impermanence and our entanglement with nature. The work is grounded in slow processes, ecological awareness, and collaboration with living materials. Nature is not just the subject, but an active co-creator.
