[excerpt from the press text]

The tree is the central figure of the exhibition — materially, symbolically, and conceptually. The trunks brought into the gallery undergo gestures of decomposing, reassembling, and transformation that reveal the tension between the organic and the cultural regimes of structuring. One tree, chopped into firewood and reassembled with slight displacements, visualizes the interruption and reordering of natural growth and form. Another, shaped and polished into a mirror-like surface, turns the organic trunk into a site where the viewer literally sees themselves — a meeting point between nature and representation, between body and image.
