PLA (polylactic acid), a bioplastic obtained from renewable resources such as corn and sugarcane, constitutes their essence. Its lightness, strength, and sustainable origin reflect the capacity of mushrooms to transform and regenerate, returning to the earth what once seemed lost.
On this foundation, the surface has been worked with high-quality putty, refining details and textures in a gesture that mirrors the meticulousness with which mushrooms weave invisible networks beneath the soil, perfecting the ecosystems that sustain life.
Finally, each piece rests on a solid base that provides stability and aesthetic enhancement, reminding us of the fundamental role of mushrooms as the foundations of nature: silent connectors that recycle, sustain, and allow life to continue.
In these sculptures, the Amanita muscaria ceases to be just a visual icon and becomes a symbol of the balance between art, sustainability, and the profound natural intelligence of fungi.Share
