About the "FRAGILE STATE" project:
Fragility, or quality of what is fragile, is commonly associated with physical and human condition.
The definition of fragility arises also applied to the development process of the "regions", according to four main indicators of reference - political, social, economic and environmental. In this context, the term "Fragility" acquires a broader sense and refers us to other definitions such as lack of consistency, absence of consolidation and instability of places and societies.
The environmental fragilities are increasingly, once we spend and destroy the resources we have. In addition, nature itself is fragile in its condition.
The "FRAGILE STATE" project aims to address the theme of "environmental fragility" in its natural line, through analogies with human fragilities. The paths are not the predictable, and the choice of techniques and materials reveal subtle images, where the apparent simplicity reveals the essence of the theme.
In my exploration process, I proceed to the collection and appropriation of natural elements such as stones and sand. The idea is to materialize and dematerialize the same object, with the use of hybrid means (photography and video), constructing relational images, digitally captured and manipulated. The objective is to subtly expose the fragilities of the places, in view of the urgency of activating consciousness for the new challenges that arise.
