🌳 About the exhibition

"Beneath my feet stretches an invisible network that shares water, nutrients, and memory. Nothing lives alone. The forest exists because each of its elements sustains the others in a silent and persistent balance."

The group of sculptures of Fabian Schalekamp (Palma, 1964) proposes to reconstruct that forest of our collective imagination in a transit space —the Espai COR, in the epicenter of the city— and to turn it, even if only for an instant, into a space for reflection.

Fires, deforestation, and the climate emergency speak to the disruption of this balance. Perhaps protecting the forest is not just about conserving trees, but about regaining awareness of our interdependence with everything around us. Artwork made of wild olive wood, dimensions vary.

🏛️ What is Espai COR
