Mother and Sons originates from a photograph used as a visual matrix, from which I extracted and enlarged four fragments until they became autonomous images. The work unfolds as a genealogical relationship between an original image — the Mother — and four derivations, the Sons.
The work focuses on the transition from the overall field to the detail. Through magnification, portions of the image begin to behave as independent micro-landscapes: branching forms, drippings, and aggregations that evoke biological tissues, cellular colonies, or mycelial systems.
I chose a monochromatic palette dominated by deep red tones to suspend the immediate recognition of the photographed material and shift perception toward an ambiguous territory between the organic, the mineral, and the abstract.
Only at a later stage does the real origin of the images emerge: the source photograph is a macro image of ice formations on a spruce branch. Through magnification and chromatic transformation, a natural phenomenon destined to dissolve within a few hours is transformed into a stable visual presence, almost fossil-like.
The work consists of five unique fine art prints on Hahnemühle paper: the Mother (175 × 95 cm) and four Sons (approximately 45 × 25 cm each), maintaining the same aspect ratio as the original image in order to preserve the formal connection with their point of origin within the photograph. Unique pieces.
