Landscape Memories

Memory. Anthropocene. Evanescence.

Landscape is not a border, but a living fabric of histories and identities. In the Anthropocene era, where ecosystems fragment and territories transform irreversibly, it becomes urgent to capture a trace before it fades. LANDSCAPE MEMORIES archives what will soon be only a vestige.

LANDSCAPE MEMORIES is a physical reconstruction of territories explored during residencies. The process is rooted in personal photographs and paintings that capture the rhythms and reliefs of the terrain. The project, currently in development, confronts mass—stone and earth—with the fugacity of an olfactory imprint.

Hollow sculptures in progress will release a breath of smoke, captured under glass, as an archive of a site's evaporation. In resonance, plaster rock-frames and relief embroideries will materialize nature's movement and regeneration. Each piece will be a stratum: a mixture of real topographies and artificial sedimentation.
The work will not represent a figurative landscape, but the sensation of a vestige, a memory reactivated by scent. It is an inventory of materials in transition, from solid to vapor—a sensory documentation of anthropized landscapes on the verge of disappearance.

LANDSCAPE MEMORIES does not illustrate. It archives evanescence.

Materials & Processes

— Mineral Cavities: Hollow stone and earth sculptures designed for olfactory diffusion.
— Pictorial Transposition: Surface development based on original paintings and photographs.
— Rock-Frames: Sculptural plaster frames cast from terrain reliefs.
— Surface Weaving: Hand-woven high-relief tapestries replicating mineral textures.
— Glass Encapsulation: Blown glass on rock capturing smoke emanations.
