Mientras una Hoja Respira (While a Leaf Breathes) examines both our connections and dissociations from an intricate natural world that is hiding in plain sight. Through the fusion of art and biology, artist Lucia Monge presents us with a living installation where surprising materials are in conversation with each other. Her sculptures illuminate interspecies relationships and invite us to see how the human necessity to breathe is interwoven with the lives of plants and other organisms.
