Flying Roots

This ongoing project was born from a need to reconnect with nature through image-making.
By traveling to different parts of the world and documenting wildlife in their natural habitats, I aim to create not just photographs but living memories of the fragility and beauty of our planet. 

The project takes inspiration from the Bearded Vulture, a bird that stains its wings with natural pigments from the earth by staining their feathers with red soil bathing (Margalida A. et al., 2023).

Its ritual became a symbol for my own practice: a dialogue between subject and process, where nature participates in shaping the final image.

​Through the tricolour cyanotype process primarily, an experimental and ecological technique, each image becomes a slow meditation layers of colour and light that reflect the balance between control and unpredictability.

Working with this method allows me to step away from perfection, embrace imperfection, and give space to the organic character of the medium, mirroring the spontaneity of life in the wild.

​Flying Roots is a journey of images, of processes, and of relationships. It celebrates the diversity of life across different landscapes and seeks to forge a dialogue between art, ecology, and community, proposing new ways of seeing, remembering, and protecting the living world.

Beyond its artistic dimension, Flying Roots collaborates with conservation projects and research initiatives. By documenting wildlife in fragile ecosystems the project seeks to raise awareness of wildlife, support fieldwork efforts, and bridge art with environmental science.
