Life of grass: green sculptures
Artist and sculptor Mathilde Roussel-Giraudypresented her original works to the world at an exhibition in Brooklyn, New York. Her green growing sculptures are made of a metal frame, soil and wheat seeds.
The artist's herbal works change every day, so many visitors come to the exhibition several times.
The collection of green sculptures was named"ça pousse!", which means "it grows!" The main goal of the creations is to draw people's attention to the issue of choosing what they eat, as well as to show how gastronomic preferences affect the environment. As the ancient wisdom says, we are what we eat.
In Egyptian mythology, Osiris is the God of rebirth,one who eternally returns to life. He is also the personification of the fertile earth and natural cycles. The natural world enters into food and becomes a component of human existence. Through these anthropomorphic and organic sculptures made from soil and wheat seeds, the artist tries to help humanity realize that nature requires careful treatment.
"Observing nature and being responsible“Changing our attitude towards how and what we eat will help us become more sensitive to the cyclical circulation of food in the world, abundance, hunger, and will allow us to be physically and spiritually connected to global reality,” says Mathilde Roussel-Giraudy.
