In Vanishing Trees, I approach trees as historical, biological, and cultural entities rather than as passive elements of the landscape. Developed through archival, botanical, and visual research, the work focuses on the entangled conditions - botany, ecosystems, memory, migration, extraction, extinction - in which the selected tree species are embedded.

The trees speak in the first person. The visual sequences abandon a human viewpoint and shifts instead to perspectives within the surrounding ecosystem: those of neighboring plants, animals, fungi, pollinators, and the tree itself. Artificial intelligence, datasets, 3D animation, digital painting, and post-production allow the construction of perspectives that remain slightly speculative yet firmly grounded in science, acknowledging the limits of human perception and representation.

Vanishing Trees considers extinction beyond the loss of an isolated organism, focusing on the collapse of an entire relational world and asking how art might render these threatened lives and ecosystems perceptible within contemporary visual culture.
