Suzhou on a slow bunny|turtle
In my imagination, when the urbanization process begins, animals are too slow to adapt. A hare and a tortoise fused together carrying the weight of a city that will crush them.
Suzhou, famous for its classical gardens, is a city where turtles have been found in ornamental ponds for centuries, a symbol of longevity and stability.
This series symbolically and surreally explores the cohabitation of animals with an urban landscape. Here the ecological approach that distinguishes human/nature relationship is central by inviting us to perceive the earth as a living entity, as a large garden in which all the ignored fragments of the landscape offer us opportunities for regeneration. This was inspired by Gilles Clément's concept of "Third Landscape." All works are signed and certified.
