FLOWERS

by Federico Pestilli

In our desire to control Nature, we invented a tool to separate us from it. Plastic’s primary function is separation. Its ability to isolate, contain, and protect inner from outer matter provides solutions to many human needs. Its durability and resistance to degradation, on the other hand, represent a threat to living organisms. While seemingly protecting flowers, the synthetic “shroud” eventually destroys their organic beauty.

Only light, it seems, has a chance to play on both sides of the translucent barrier.

Federico Pestilli is an Italian artist who combines photography and painting to create large-scale studies.
