Description: Rites, Seeds, and Refuge channels narratives of migration through vegetal metaphors. Lucía Pizzani crafts clay totems pressed with textures of corn; eucalyptus; and plants integral to her Venezuelan heritage. These sculptures stand as guardians of cross-continental memory; intertwining her journey from Caracas to London with plants as carriers of home; survival; and metamorphosis. The installation includes collages on amate paper nestled among live vegetation.
