Descrição: In this work, the leaves of Mucuna Bennettii, also known as Red Jade Vine, a tropical vine of rare exuberance, find a new destiny. 

Their forms, composed in triads, were collected after the plant's life cycle, dried, and preserved to create a relief surface that transitions between the organic and the sculptural.

The intense color the leaf acquires over time—transforming from deep green to a brilliant, almost black hue—creates a dramatic and unique contrast. 
Every natural curvature and thickness is preserved, forming a web of living textures that invite silent contemplation.

Fixed to canvas and protected by an acrylic box, these leaves immortalize a fragment of the natural cycle and its subsequent transformation over time, transforming into biophilic art capable of bringing the tropical power of the forests into human space.

Like the other works in the Devir Collection, the composition alludes to a more poetic world where inspiration, in transformation, regroups natural forms and stirs something within us.
