The tree of mist

“The tree of mist was born from two magical sensations related to my childhood.

The mist and the fog that envelops things, blurring their contours and erasing the boundaries of places, and a gesture that perhaps everyone, at least once in our life, has done: blowing on the feathery and light sphere of the dandelion and watching its seeds fly in the air, perhaps in the hope that a wish would come true.

“Every breath is a second chance”

A simple yet powerful gesture that it brings us back in an instant to the feeling of lightheartedness and joy that characterizes childhood.

With a leap of scale, the Taraxacum officinale dandelion is transformed into a large technological steel tree, equipped with mist nozzles that spread atomized water at high pressure into the environment. Almost a living organism, imagined as the generator of the fog that, in the days of the middle seasons, envelops the wetlands of the pine forest in a soft blanket of wadding.“
