The installation unfolds as a dialogue between fragility and persistence, where glass sculptures mimic the growth of plants, stretching towards the light. Captured between nature and performative aesthetics, the sprouts rises from a steel grid—an object of industry and function, now transformed into a stage where mimicry and natural forms perform. Movement and stillness blend, as the sculptures take shape in a frozen gesture of growth, blurring the boundary between the organic and the constructed. 

At the core of the work, the glass sculptures orbit a leather ballerina skirt—a reference to craftsmanship and movement, but also an intimate trace of the body. The interplay between material and form introduces a corporeal presence, drawing the body into the sculptural space. The composition of organic motion and scenographic elements captures a performance caught in suspension, a dance frozen in time.

The installation invites reflection and speculation on the way nature can appropriate human culture, absorbing our gestures and expressions. By lending theatrical and bodily qualities to plant life, the work questions the relationship between the human and the non-human, suggesting that a deeper understanding of this connection might cultivate a renewed sense of care for the spaces we inhabit.
