“These sculptures bear witness to the internal architecture shaped by the tree’s growth and by the forces that time exerted upon the material.”
“C”
Every fold, every curve, already existed within the wood long before any intervention. All it required was time, hands, and attention.
“C” emerges from an act of accompaniment rather than transformation. It is the result of years of patient manual work, following the material’s internal rhythm. There are no shortcuts. Only the willingness not to rush what is not yet ready to be revealed.
Throughout this entire process, my hands did not seek to create, but to understand. By following the flow of the xylem (the place where the tree preserves the record of its growth) I gradually uncovered its history. What is presented here is a testimony, not an invention.
Every groove contains commitment. Every relief, adaptation. Every fold, the trace of a history written over time.
“C” is the form time takes when it is respected.
The form of effort accumulated over time.
The form of a structure shaped by growth, adaptation, and persistence.

“C” — Black Pine, 85 × 85 × 65 cm · 34 kg. Technique: Incision, exposure of the secondary xylem, scraping, and waxing.
“H”
Marks a turning point within the project.
It is the first piece in which I chose to preserve the contrast between the worked material and the surface shaped by environmental processes. Wind, frost, and erosion had already been acting upon this wood for years. My intervention does not seek to correct that condition, but to enter into dialogue with it.
The incision follows the internal direction of the xylem, respecting its structure while leaving visible the boundary between what the tree created, what nature shaped, and what I accompany.
Here, the sculpture does not replace the fragment; it completes it.
“H” is the acceptance that time does not need to be erased for form to emerge.
