“Our selfishness has allowed us to use the environment to our liking, and the term anthropocene is nothing more than the further anthropocentric view of geological eras. We are causing the end of our species on this planet, but we are certainly not strong enough to cause the death of the planet”.

 In these works, the concept of anthropocene is layered in composite images on paper applied on canvas. Reproductions of ancient maps, scientific illustrations, view of classical Rome, and landscapes are drawn and painted upon in ink and oil, cut out in the shape of flowers and plants, and then pinned again on the surface of the works. Skulls, a recurring theme in the series, take on a double meaning: they are a reflection on human evolution, as well as classic symbols of vanitas, a reminder of our species’ eventual extinction. Visitors are encouraged to go through the curtain installed in the gallery's main space.

The luxurious vegetation printed on it refers to the prehistoric forest that used to cover our planet fifty-five million years ago, when one or more meteors hit Earth, causing a period of intense global warming and the extinction of several living species. Both a backdrop and a stage drape, the installation hint to the subconscious trope of the primeval forest, the Garden of Eden from which humans were eventually banned according to the Bible.
