In the Dolomite mountains, some parts of the tree are not suitable for sawmills and then are discarded or left to rot in the woods. These pieces are very organic, full of life, and authentically reflect the real nature of their habitat.
For this collection alcarol recovered some logs from the undergrowth of the Italian Dolomite mountains; then cuts planks, preserving the natural bark surface and live edges with their mosses and lichens, which are encased in a special resin resembling the water that generated their life.
The project engages with the alcarol concept of environmental cross-section. By filling the gaps with resin, alcarol achieves a new functionality freezing time at the end of the material’s cycle and giving it a new life before it dissolves into the ecosystem.
