Altera Natura

This series, a fusion of countless plant photographs from Colombia, Europe and China, is a codex for a fictional, parallel, natural world. In this anthropogenic flora, plants reflect man's dominion over nature. Have we transcended the natural? Is vegetation today a human artifice? This new flora represents the harsh legacy of the Anthropoccene and the nostalgic gaze of exploration in unknown lands.
