The site-specific work Transizioni, winner of the Arte Sella competition in 2013, is a permanent installation that encompasses the dynamics linked to the landscape and the natural context. Three large spheres inspired by seeds are grafted onto three trees, natural elements that together with the installation tend to become one with nature and the surrounding landscape. The spheres, varying in size from 5 metres to decreasing, are thus positioned to enhance the perspective and the place in which they are housed. Between them they are connected through a visual triangle, an exchange of glances created through observation. Inspired by the natural elements that develop through the Fibonacci sequence, Transizioni enhances the context in which it is located by shedding new light on the potential of natural forms that seem to explode with energy in the midst of the forest.
