ANCESTRAL ECHOES

​ANCESTRAL ECHOES – Wounded Trees Created during the artist residency at BIGCi Art Center in the Australian bush, Ancestral Echoes – Wounded Trees is a land art installation born from a performative intervention on Angophora trees in Wollemi National Park. The trees, marked by natural cuts from which a blood-red resin emerges, were wrapped with strips of handwoven white flannel. The act of bandaging, repeated like a silent ritual, transforms the landscape into a vulnerable and living body. The installation was followed by a photographic documentation created by the artist, conceived as a poetic extension of the experience. The work reflects on the fragility of nature and the human condition in a time marked by violence and global transformations.
