Steel Genetics, a sculptural work by Jessica Boubetra, shares its title with the exhibition in which it is presented. Evoking the form of a tree, the piece emerges as a central figure within the show. The exhibition itself is conceived as a fictional collection of trees, an artificial, inverted arboretum, drawing from the visual language of science fiction cinema and assembling sculptural entities that exist beyond natural and conventional taxonomies.
Its structure, at once branching and constructed, reflects this conceptual framework while incorporating hand-painted ceramic elements that reference the traditional practices of Sejnane ceramics. In doing so, it articulates a passage from technical process to artisanal, human gesture.
