From Her we came and to Her we return

Installation piece collaboration with João Mota from Core Recycled Skateboards

Vertical Garden - structure made from recycled wood panels and recycled plastic linings, filled with biologic dirt supported by a fine wire mesh; covered with live plants, stones, preserved moss and cork foil.

This piece was created to be part of a collective exhibition at CAVA Galeria, Viseu PT, entitled Terrarium (02.07-01.10), that I’ve also curated.

This 70,86 inches tall Green Man was something that João and I have never done before, this piece represented an exciting challenge and an excuse for us to work together. Besides strengthening our connection with each other, the process made us feel more in tone with the Earth and her rhythms. We wanted to also express our belief that we owe our life to the Earth, we view Nature as our deity and religion, as a temple we should care for, and Nature will judge us and reciprocate equally as we live our life towards her.
