There is many sacred forests on Earth, cradles of legends, beliefs, and historical events, many civilizations roots their origins in those magical and natural places.<\/p>\n
This work is an archaeology of the future, if the forests were to disappear, what would we keep?<\/p>\n
How could we preserve a piece of these stories, a trace of these trees where spirits, kings and legends live?<\/p>\n
This work is also an observation of all the elements that make a piece of wood: mushrooms, carbon dioxide, mosses,…<\/p>\n
All these essential elements that make up our trees and forests are here perceptible and frozen in time forever.<\/p>\n
From each piece of wood, under the pressure of the resin, emanates a color.
\nThis mystical halo of bright and sharp color comes from the moisture contained in lichen. This fungus has been present on earth for 500 million years and covers 6% of the earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n
Usually invisible to the naked eye, carbon dioxide trapped in wood causes silvery traces to appear.<\/p>\n
