Gaia 53

In this diptych, the sinuous and shadowy form of the tree is mirrored by the small plant; positive and negative combine.

Gaia takes its name from the hypothesis by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, which describes the heart as a single superorganism in which living things and the rest of the planet establish a self-regulating equilibrium that then ensure the survival of the whole.

The series comprises diptychs, composed of two photographs of natural elements that Llorens found in his local environment. The two individual elements are brought together to make a third image, which is a harmonious whole.
