An explosion of leaves in Gaia 21 draws the viewer in. In this diptych by Jaume Llorens Bach, the contrast of large and small leaves creates an effect like a firework exploding in the sky, scattering its luminous remnants across the firmament.

The reality, of course, is closer to nature. In this diptych we can authentically witness the equilibrium of Mother Nature.

The series Gaia takes its names from the hypothesis by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, which describes Earth as a single superorganism in which living beings and the rest of the planet establish a self-regulating equilibrium that ensures the survival of the whole.

In this series of diptychs, Llorens creates a duality of meaning by juxtaposing two photographs of natural elements found in Llorens' own natural habitat. These two individual images combine to make a third, holistic, harmonious whole, which differs from the simple sum of its parts, as described by Ralph Gibson in 'Overtones and Proportions'.

'Gaia' was recently voted into the Top 10 of LensCulture's prestigious Critic's Choice Awards 2023. Signed by Maker,Numbered See less
