This group of paintings, drawings, and installations evokes a raw and elemental nature, recalling a relationship that has gradually been lost since the natural world came to be regarded primarily as a resource rather than as a source of knowledge. In this earlier understanding, nature carried a form of holistic wisdom—one that situated human beings at the periphery rather than at the center of the universe.

Elequent worlds have been lost

The works brought together in View with a Shift originate from a similar mode of attention. They arise from a process of sustained observation, repeated journeys, and encounters with landscapes shaped by the passage of time. Rather than seeking to fix a stable image of the world, they follow its states of transformation. What is presented is not a finished landscape, but a set of situations in which light, matter, memory, and movement remain in constant interaction.

The works gathered for Entanglement for Change present the landscape as a symbol of the balance that should exist between humankind and nature. In this context, the human presence in nature is not disruptive; there are no dissonant elements, instead, there is a mutually beneficial exchange: nature stabilizes the human being, and the human responds by creating without harming or disturbing the natural balance.
