LOOK UP ! Cent montgolfières dans le ciel

Rosanna Baledda presents an original installation that lifts the viewer into a reflection on the atmosphere’s vital role. Through an arrangement of balloon-like forms and suspended elements, the work juxtaposes the poetic image of a sky filled with hot-air balloons with sober questions about the atmosphere’s function: regulating temperature, filtering radiation and enabling breathable air. The installation highlights the atmosphere’s preciousness and fragility, inviting contemplation of human responsibility toward climate and the delicate networks sustaining life.
