Unison

Unísono seeks to explore the universe of plants through beauty, spiritual and enigmatic paths. Immersing ourselves in the place where ideas mingle with the unknown, the subtle silence, the ancestral wisdom that weaves our ecosystem. Bridging the infinite harmony that gives life to our planet.

This project slowly took shape during my walks in the Collserola forest where I would take pictures of plants. Even though all the images were beautiful, none of them went beyond the usual, there was something else that invited me to explore further.

Until one day, as if announcing the arrival of spring, an image of a bud from a climbing

plant opened the door, revealed its secret to me. It taught me the first words of its language and with these I was able to immerse myself in a dialogue with the rest. Plants vibrate and the calm that enraptures us in their company, as Stefano Mancuso points out, is perhaps the echo of an ancestral conscience that tells us that they contain everything we need.

The moment of pressing the shutter became a door to the infinite sensory world of the forest. For two years I learned and enjoyed this journey through the universe of plants. Now it's time for them to be shown, to share this project with you, so that together we can enjoy this universal language...

...and vibrate in unison.

FOREWORD:

UNISONO will have a foreword from Jonathan Drori, the author of "Around the World in 80 Trees". A fantastic book, which I am sure many of you have surely heard of.

Jon's profound and relevant words complete and enrich the book. I couldn't be more grateful and happy for his participation in this project.

Thanks Jon!
