Fragile Future

Studio Drift

Cidade Matarazzo

Cidade Matarazzo
Sao Paulo, Brazil

The sculpture contains real dandelion seeds connected to LED lights. This labour-intensive process is a clear statement against mass production and throwaway culture. Are the rapid technological developments of our age really more advanced than the evolution of nature, of which the dandelion is such a transient and symbolic example? And could those two evolve together and meet in the future?
In Fragile Future, light functions as a symbolic and emotional ingredient rather than as a tool to simply illuminate the dark. It conveys emotion at the same time as it refers to the fact that light lies at the basis of all life. Studio Drift takes this future on its own aesthetic terms, an unexpected combination of high-technology and poetic imagery, in which each sculpture is exclusively designed to adapt organically to a specific context.
