Description: In his paintings and prints, Eduardo Fausti explores themes from the natural world. Fausti is as interested in natural history as in cultural history. And, in visual terms, he muses about what happens when the two come together.
This oil painting entitled "Saffron" depicts an open saffron seed--a plant used for millennia to cure illnesses in Middle Eastern civilizations. View seed detail. As signifiers, the numbers in this piece represent and reflect upon our accountability and responsibility of our relationship with nature--about the obsession to control rather than understand and respect it. View number detail. The x-ray negative hand trying to grasp the saffron seed is a metaphor for the relationship between nature and technology.
