This artwork represents the resilience and adaptive capacity of forests in the face of rapid global changes that are transforming our ecosystems. The tree, intentionally generic, was designed to encompass all forest species. Its drooping branches and needles evoke those of old spruces, while its overall silhouette more closely resembles that of a broadleaf tree. My inspiration stems from the idea that anything changing rapidly becomes blurred. For this reason, the tree is depicted with multiple partially defined outlines, much like a moving object leaving successive traces visible to the eye. As viewers spend time observing the artwork, hidden details gradually emerge, including chromosomes embedded within the plant cells of the leaves and fragments of DNA woven into the background. These elements highlight the importance of research conducted at the scale of the invisible living world. Understanding the mechanisms operating at small scales is essential for gaining a deeper understanding of the processes that shape forest ecosystems as a whole and their capacity to adapt to environmental change.
