Carved Time is a project that explores the transformation and resignification of organic-botanical materials. The initiative blends art and pseudo-science, creating unique beings from fragments that highlight a cycle of death and rebirth. The work emphasizes the impermanence of life by capturing forms from freshness to decomposition, in a context that proposes new interpretations and understandings of matter and its possibilities for recreation. Through manipulation, the photographs offer a poetic and sculptural vision of of the natural world, inviting reflection on time and ephemeral beauty.
