The project Growing for Life celebrates life, from conception to its core: the family.
The seed of life grows, before it is a sperm, then a nucleus, then a man. Each step is represented by a sculpture which takes stage in the creation of life and the elements that generate the moment of conception. We also thought to represent the parties who see human life, the love nest and the nest of the family. The dominant color of the structures is red because it is the color of energy, it is the lightning that caused the life millions of years ago 'and the color of passionate love by which life is born.
The design that tracks the position of these structures and sculptures is given by the analysis of the cosmic spiral represented by the golden spiral. This design is meant to represent the universe from which came the life. The small sculptures are made of twisted iron wire, large structures are made of wood with woven willow that acts as a support for climbing plants.
