Inhabiting the Collective Body is a painting-based project that emerges from the desire to establish a more intimate relationship with the surrounding world. Through painting, it explores ways of inhabiting the present grounded in attention, sensitivity, and connection to living systems.

In a context shaped by acceleration and fatigue, the project positions itself as a form of gentle resistance: a practice of slowing down, listening, and reactivating a more open and permeable perception of the environment.

The notion of a collective body frames the work as a continuity between the human body and nature. Rather than simply acknowledging our belonging to the natural world, it proposes understanding ourselves as part of an interdependent system shaped by mutual influence. Nature thus appears as an extension of our existence: both refuge and untamed force.

The project unfolds through a parallel between inhabiting the world, the canvas, and space itself. Each painting operates as an organism, and the body of work as an expanded body: a constellation of images where the intimate and the shared intersect. Vegetal elements—stems, shoots, flowers—act as presences that expand perception and activate a sensory experience.

From this perspective, the project suggests a shift from the individual toward the collective, questioning how we inhabit shared space and what forms of relation emerge when we understand ourselves as part of the same body.
