Skin

This art installation is composed of 3 airy human figures made of light natural material (skeletons of tree leaves), which seem to float in free space. They resemble costumes that follow the anatomical shape of the body. Leaf skeletons actually are the circulatory system of a tree leaf, that is, the system that supplies them with water and keeps them alive. These figures, with their transparency, at the same time resemble the skin that the snake sheds after it becomes too tight.
