Organic Traces
Organic Traces is a visual investigation of vegetal matter.
​
Bruises, cuts, and signs of decomposition become elements of a new aesthetic—
not mere defects but traces of an evolving process that shapes the subject and visually redefines it.
​
Often, defects on fruits and vegetables do not appear aesthetically appealing; in fact, they can evoke repulsion.
However, what initially seems “repulsive”, can become an exaltation of the artistic aesthetic
of these details, highlighting how they can generate fascinating and unexpected visual forms.
​
Transformation does not represent an end.
​
Some of the depicted subjects at times challenge the eye. The surfaces and textures of these elements can let the eyes perceive different things.
This visual ambiguity creates a space for interpretation, where organic matter transforms into something new.
​
What is commonly seen as imperfection or decay becomes, through photographic lens, a space for reinterpreting beauty.
This project revolves around
the exploration of ugliness-beauty, reinterpretation, materiality, and nature.
