Escape is a series of organic abstractions, a visual epic about the processes that take place inside plants at a cellular level, usually hidden from the human eye.

For me, plants have never been more than background objects or clichés.
My contact with them is more like listening to religious music that penetrates and fills you, in which you can dissolve.
By embroidering the growth of plant cells in lace stitch, I identify with these processes in the same way that a musician identifies with the work he is playing and feels its harmonies.
Are the borders between different beings impassable?
Is contact possible?
The American philosopher Graham Harman argues that the only place where real objects meet is in the realm of sensual phenomena. The penetration of real objects into the sensual world creates a new substance that is not identical to the original objects, but is the imprint of their contact. This fact can trigger new chains of interactions that move away from anthropocentric thinking and into the realm of utopia, in search of a common denominator for different forms of life.
