The dichroic sculpture of The Heart of the Forest is, in its essence, matter that breathes light. Its mutable skin, woven with shifting reflections, absorbs and exhales the surrounding luminance, becoming a living being made of radiance. Like a tree that drinks the sun and transforms it into sap, the surface of the sculpture imbibes the light that touches it, only to return it in a vibrant, almost ethereal glow. In its dichroic nature, where colors shift with the angle of view and the intensity of the day, the piece becomes a visual heartbeat, a pulse of clarity and shadow that engages in dialogue with the sky and the earth.
The relationship between the artwork and the forest is neither casual nor ornamental; it is structural. A tree, through the process of photosynthesis, converts light into energy, into life. The sculpture, in turn, operates as a visual echo of this biological process: it captures light, fragments it, and reconfigures it, generating a new form of aesthetic energy. It is not an inert object but an entity that participates in the atmosphere of the place, breathing its luminosity and translating it into a unique visual language. In this sense, the piece draws a parallel with the explorations of artists such as James Turrell or Olafur Eliasson, who have worked with light as a sculptural material in itself, capable of generating an expanded sensory experience.
At this intersection between art and nature, between solidity and evanescence, the dichroic sculpture stands as a visual testimony to the rhythm that animates the world. It is not a closed form but a phenomenon in constant transformation, a presence inscribed in the logic of mutability. It is a material manifestation of light in its purest state: breathed in, distilled, and returned to space as a gesture of perpetual transformation, inviting the viewer to become part of its eternal becoming.
