ProtoAtlasTree is the fourth work in the ProtoAtlas series, a body of research that precedes the larger project Atlas of the Surgical Existence.
The human figure transforms into a hybrid organism where anatomy and vegetal structure merge: the spine emerges as a luminous axis while the brain expands like an organic canopy.
The work explores the body as a stratified and constantly mutating system, anticipating the visual and conceptual language of the Atlas an archive of plates investigating the relationship between biology, identity, and transformation.
