Bodies

Trunks as millennial bodies. Trunks as living sculptures.
Centuries-old hollow, knotted and twisted olive trees, witnesses of the strength and courage used over the centuries for the struggle for survival.
Through these images I wanted to communicate dignity, the sense of wonder, the fragility that Nature transmits to me through these millennial “beings”.
I symbolically compare the difficulties that the plants face in order to survive to the life of the farmers who, generations after generations, kindly take care of them, unaware of a silent symbiosis that over the years is created between them and the trees.
In their tired and changed bodies, in the powerful wrinkles on their faces, I recognize the signs of ancient plants.
And in this relationship between man and nature, between skin and trunk, between bodies and branches, there is a deep dignity that demands respect.
