Pieces of the serie have been shown in Guangzhou K11 art foundation, in everyday gallery antwerp, and in my mom's garden.

Starting from paintings and drawings, the illusion became a sculpture serie in which the living and the artificial can't be dissociated anymore. Nature is presented as an unstopable force able to elevate itself out of ground, and face us as a graowing statue.
What seems to be roots are actually branches upside down.
