Ars et flora,  an artistic book aimed at showing the beauty of endangered flora in Catalonia in order that we can reflect on their future.

A collaborative project born of indignation, surprise and desire. Indignation, at how we treat nature and how we got to where we are. Surprise, for all the wonders that we have discovered approaching the plants and that we want to share, and desire, to save the remaining plants, not to lose more and to make known their situation having clear that the goal of learning is not knowledge but action.
