Origin of Species
Origin of Species, Gothenburg, Sweden, 2016
As soon as Nature creates any evolutionary process it is already working on a metamorphose towards another entity.
The artwork “Origin of Species” shows in its intrinsic way the evolutionary theory of Darwin. This conceptual tree walking on water creates a dialogue between itself and the visitor, through the consciousness of the differences between organisms.
The natural installation is part of the Gothenburg Green World Expo in Sweden and was built in the pond of the Botanical Garden. In the work I search for a connection between the plant world and the animal-human world. The “Walking Tree” could be seen as a missing link between the two stages, going back in ancient times when Nature emerged from the water and started to walk on the Earth.
