UNIQUE PIECE.

Algae, aquatic plants, are descendants of cyanobacteria, the first organisms capable of photosynthesis. When submerged in water, they evoke the earliest plant species that emerged from the primordial, warm, and brackish depths. Even today, they remain crucial for oxygen production.

Sound Art

Sunbeams and primordial photosynthetic organisms join in a dance of love, generating oxygen and making the Earth welcoming to life.

KALEIDOSCOPIC FIGURES

Submerged within the marine waters of the primordial layer, amidst sizzling lands and fiery lavas, microscopic, round, and filamentous Blue-green Algae seduced Luminous Rays. It seemed like a chemistry of love, the very first of its kind.

The Luminous Rays traveled in sinuous motions. Originally conceived by the Sun, the nurturing star that sent them far away to the enigmatic Earth, a planet tinted in a diffused blue, where the newly born Blue-green Algae swayed in both fresh and marine waters. Nobody was aware of what was about to unfold; almost inconspicuously, they were gearing up to trigger a revolution.

Like an involuntary action, the innermost organs within them began to activate peculiar mechanisms, capable of enticing the Luminous Rays.
Such an intense attraction had never been witnessed before, so unusual that it seemed absurd.

Some say those tiny blue existences and light bearers initiated the breath of life.
