Nature is no longer untamed. It has been drawn, modified and reinterpreted according to human needs, desires and perspectives. This exhibition presents works that are based on natural materials—earth, oxides, organic pigments, handmade paper and plant remains—to explore an idea of ​​a landscape that is no longer pure, but constructed, manipulated, wounded. Through shapes, textures and fragments, the pieces reveal the limits between what is organic and what is artificial. It is not a celebration of idealized nature, but a reflection on its constant transformation. The works do not seek to imitate nature, but to interrogate it, recover vestiges, make memory. The construction of nature is, at its core, a look at ourselves: about how we project our inner world onto a landscape that we once called natural. The exhibition proposes to rethink the notion of nature and landscape, not as pure or intact spaces, but as cultural constructions marked by the human footprint. It is an invitation to question what we understand by “natural” today and to review our relationship with the environment we inhabit.
