Once used, once taken
 

2020 I Hessian, steel, grass I 3 sections of 5m

Created as part of the exhibition 'Horizons' located in Puy de Sancy, France, 'Once used, once taken' is a series of site-specific installations.

Unusual sculptures, created from organic and natural materials, hug the silhouettes of hazelnut trees.
Moss, mushrooms, and grass gradually cover over the structures in the summertime. The artwork is alive and becomes an integral part of the landscape. It presents seasonal and life cycles, questioning the visitor as to the ephemeral nature of art: is art supposed to last forever, while so many things are denoted as single-use yet often last for several decades?
