Italian artist Federico Pestilli’s series ‘Nature Morte’ sheds light on the global environmental crisis threatening life on earth and jeopardising the inherent beauty of the natural kingdom.
Serving as a metaphor for humanity’s fragile connection to nature, this series features powerful images of flowers wrapped in plastic - these seem to struggle for survival against a backdrop of saturated blue skies.
‘Nature Morte’ is the ultimate still life: while utterly vivid at first glance, each work is an imperative reminder of the incessant destruction of our environment.
