My work focuses on the power of nature, its forces in constant motion and transformation, and its permanent relationship with the territory, establishing correspondences between the landscape and cultural identity. I am interested in representing the monumentality of natural environments, and at the same time revealing their own fragility in time, in the face of the permanent threat of human intervention.
