Figure Caleidoscopiche (Kaleidoscopic figures)(fragment)

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 a chemistry dance of love, the first ever of its kind.
The Rays of Light traveled following sinuous movements. 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 knew what was about to happen, so almost unsuspectingly they were preparing for a revolution.
As an involuntary action, the inner organs that composed them began to activate strange mechanisms capable of enticing the Luminous Rays.
An attraction so strong had never been seen before, so unusual to seem absurd.
Some say that those tiny blue existences and the light-bearers started the breath of life.

Mycorrhizal fungi cling to the roots of Monotropa uniflora to provide the necessary nutrients passed on by other species around it to keep it alive. The fungi interconnect plants of different species.

Sound Art

Fungal connections interlink different plant species, keeping a family of Monotropa alive that has lost the ability to photosynthesize.

TRANSLUCENT FLOWERS

Amidst the shadowy darkness of the undergrowth, faint glimpses of ethereal Translucent Flowers can be seen, enveloped in a peculiar ghostly aura. Their pallor paradoxically makes them more visible than the rest. The impenetrable darkness deprives the Flowers’ leaves of the ability to attract light, causing them to wither until they fall onto the damp ground, becoming compost for the very plant that had given birth to them, nourishment for the same body that had shed them.
The metamorphosis happening above ground wasn’t the only one; even beneath the surface, something was occurring. Tiny Mycorrhizal fungi were extending their hyphae, clinging to the roots of the plants that now bore new appearances. It was later discovered that they were the ones destined to revive the flowers above.
All that whiteness signifies loss and rebirth, an interweaving of lives that have generated stories.
