Years captured in fragments — bark-memories accumulating, textures speaking across.

Alex Besta’s artistic practice is based on an archival-ritualistic approach to nature: During long walks in the forest, she collects found objects—marked by time and erosion—and transforms them into large-scale installations. In her studio, these objects are turned into sculptural works in which found and recreated elements encounter each other, opening up a field of tension between natural form and artistic interpretation.
