I picked up the fine, stiff, and worn surface roots of distant pine trees from the sandy beaches of S’Avall in Majorca. I carefully arranged the powerful “borrowed” gestures to recall fragments of roots guiding through the dark, and printed them with a transfer process onto paper. They form an autonomous part of “Homage to Wislawa Szymborska – Hortus Conclusus”.
