Creating Roots
The art of the olive tree.
The olive grove, the hands that pick, the machines that turn it into gold; the female gaze that recreates.
The olive tree as work; the work as art.
The power of nature and the persistence of man; inspiration.
Earth, sweat, light! Everyday life and Narrative!
Past and present. Human and creation.
The “Creating Roots” exhibition highlights the journey of the olive tree from traditional harvesting to modern olive oil production, focusing on the connection between tradition and modernity and on the pivotal role of women in this process.
Through the female perspective, the olive tree is presented as a symbol of cultural heritage and sustainability. The images narrate the relationship between humanity and nature, incorporating elements of daily life and creativity while showcasing the strength of women—both as workers and artists—who transform the natural landscape into a work of art and sustainability.
The olive tree is not merely a tree but a symbol of life and culture. Through this photographic exhibition, we aim to demonstrate that sustainability is not only about the environment but also about social balance. Gender equality is a fundamental pillar for a sustainable future.
