Nostalgia Botánica I/Botanical Nostalgia I

Year: 2024
Comissioned by Josselin Pinto for Collective Exhibition Sensorium at Centro Cultural Municipal de Guatemala

Participatory installation, painting, cut-outs and ready made.

Botanical nostalgia is the longing for the world of plants. Especially the plants that I interact with in the garden and in my daily environment. It is a desire to get in touch with the botanical world as something that I love, brings me joy and teaches me things about the world. I am a great learner of plants of all kinds: flowers, fruits, trees, seeds... and of the soil in which they grow.

Faced with the impossibility of giving myself completely to the desire to retreat during these months in my garden to dedicate myself only to my plants, I decided to design an installation that will work as a remedy or antidote to this absence.

“Botany is the branch of biology that studies plants.
Nostalgia is the longing for something absent that we once felt was ours”
