The Cosmology of a flower, or seeing the cosmic movements in the plant world is an ongoing research project that engages with the idea that flowers are earthly reflections of celestial bodies. Inspired by the book The Life of Plants, from philosopher Emanuele Coccia, this project explores the visual and conceptual resemblance of flowers and stars, echoing their singular relationship, one mediated by light.
This work is an experimentation in visual language, happening at the intersection of sculpture, photography and science, exploring how the distortion of an image or the line of an equation can reference sculptural visual code like the curve. The prints are of the same photograph, an image of an out-of-focus dandelion, with one altered through longitudinal distortion. The laser engraving is made from a photograph taken in a bubble chamber at the CERN research institute (Switzerland), showing particle trajectories. Like a traditional frame, the wooden sculpture is built in four parts, glued together.
