"Shapes of Earth"

Geographies of the impermanent

 

​​

"Shapes of Earth" is a photographic work born from a reflection on impermanence as an essential condition of existence.
Here, landscape elements are represented as "processes": dynamic manifestations of what, to a superficial glance, appears still and unchanging in time.

In this selection of images, a constant search for movement emerges through forms, colors, and compositional layers that render that fluid quality typical of change. Volcanic hills can evoke the undulating motion of the sea; peaks lit by the sun catch fire, recalling the nature of flame; rocks with sinuous lines suggest the dynamism of wind.
What emerges is a vision in which the qualities of the four elements (earth, water, air, fire) reveal themselves to be interchangeable, sculptural forces that are in turn sculpted by time.

Each of these landscapes, though fixed in the photographic act, holds within itself the possibility of transformation, of life itself, as if it could rapidly evolve into the next landscape, almost representing that fluid quality which permeates all existence.
