This installation is a commentary and interpretation of the Alentejo ecosystem, particularly that of the cork oak. It intertwines virgin cork and processed products, creating a sensory encounter. Capsules reveal miniatures with branches, lichens, and mosses in harmony. 3D sculptures show the complexity of the ecosystem. Each pod is a guardian of time and aromas, emitting notes of moss and wildflowers that recreate the smells and movements of the forest.
This work is the result of the collaborative practice of Marta de Menezes, Nuno Sousa, Sally Santiago, Anna Isaak-Ross, Diana Mordido Aires, and André Araújo.
