Honorable Mention
Seed canoe
Ulla Czekus, Brazil
Seed canoe
DESCRIPTION
The fruit of the chestnut tree brings within it numerous seeds that will give rise to new chestnut trees. The shell of this fruit and its seeds that I found on the ground of a park reminded me of the canoes that navigate our rivers and bays and since the beginning, they were always an excellent way of transportation, both in cities and the most distant places on the planet.
AUTHOR
Ulla von Czékus (Salvador, BA, Brazil). Fascinated by plants, as long as she remembers, she has inherited her mother's passion, and developed an intrinsic relationship with photography as a child, influenced by her father – photographer by hobby, who loved to record family moments. For 30 years, she worked in the intense and stressful corporate world, when in 2017, during a process of slowing down and reconstructing the long lost sensitivity, she turned her gaze to the appreciation of beauty. Then, she united her two passions, resulting in a macrophotographic investigation that records each phase, from resplendence to senescence, of the observed object. Exploring and discovering unusual textures, colors and shapes in seeds, leaves, flowers and trees that suggest a reflection, as a visual metaphor, for the temporality and impermanence of human life.
With a scientific and poetic look, she participated in the last two editions of Agosto das Artes, in 2018 and 2019, both at Palacete das Artes, in Salvador (BA, Brazil). She also received three awards through the Botanicals Art Competition and Patterns Art Competition in 2019.
