Pistillo

Pistillo addresses the fragility of ecological systems and the fine line between growth and decay.

The starting point of the work is the blossom of the caper plant, whose brief appearance reveals a moment of particular vulnerability. The delicate, filigree structures of the blossom are translated into varying heights and densities, forming a textile surface that feels simultaneously powerful and fragile.

The work arises from an attentiveness to the small, the transient, and the easily overlooked in nature. I am interested in how much complexity and beauty lies within states that are often visible only for a brief moment.

Through the use of recycled wool, a tension emerges between material durability and conceptual fragility. The surface invites the viewer to experience closeness through touch and spatial perception.

Pistillo conceives ecological processes not as stable systems, but as continuous states of change, adaptation, and vulnerability. The work visualizes how closely beauty and fragility can be intertwined.
