The observant gaze and the accumulation of images on my device allows me to collect scenes that I find wherever I walk, which depict the fusion between and what we call natural and artificial, giving way to a post-natural aesthetic that attracts and bewilders in equal parts. Each image is a starting point for contemplation, a visual enigma about the limits and relationships of nature, human beings, urbanization, and the transformation of our environment.
These photographs, taken with the spontaneity of a moving body and the ease of the pocket device, are a visual representation that desires to go beyond apparent reality to become an imaginary potential to be invented together. Verd Asfalt is an invitation to explore the unnoticed details of the city, to discover the beauty that emerges in the cracks, to embrace the complexity of this new post-natural urban dimension, and to reflect on the future of cities and their impact on nature.
