Clara's passion for nature and the ecosystem has always been persistent. During her residency in HCMC, she felt drawn to the presence of mangroves, leading her to focus her work on them. The mangrove, with its roots deeply submerged in water and its branches shooting towards the sky, symbolises a paradise that may be at risk. It serves as a natural barrier protecting Ho Chi Minh city from erosion and land collapse. Clara explores themes of metamorphosis, connections between the seen and unseen, and a world rich in colours and symbols.
