Arca

The erosion of biodiversity caused by the impact of human activities is one of the most serious environmental problems of this moment.
Biological diversity is essential for the preservation of the ecosystems on which humanity depends.
The project aims to celebrate biodiversity by building an ark. The proposal consists of an installation that integrates visual poetry and environmental art in an attempt to generate a dialogue between the public and the natural environment. The work is carried out inside of the Borromeo Island Park and is inspired by the shape of a ship. The structure consists of two symmetrical parts and is made of recycled wood. An empty space is left between the two halves through which viewers will be able to interpret the work and experience it from the inside. On the wooden planks that form the structure, scientific names of some endemic species in danger of extinction will be engraved. The gaps left between the boards represent species already extinct, highlighting the fragility of the natural balance and the urgency to safeguard the various forms of life that inhabit the planet.
