    A sad gray wall as a canvas, hundreds of branches and vine leaves as brushes and paints. This is how the Spanish artist Spy revived the Bibliothèque de sciences et sport of the Campus de la Bouloie, in Besançon, France, setting up a geometric prowess that has botany and graffiti as its protagonists.

    Thanks to a careful pruning of the existing wild plants, in fact, it was possible to create a living and natural murals, circular in shape, transforming the site into a permanent work of art to be preserved forever.

    The splendid creation is simply made up of rows of vines and leaves which, once reached the maximum height, appear almost as if they were unkempt, in contrast to the care of pruning, as if to indicate an infinite and uncontrollable growth.

    Seeing in the wild vines a canvas to be molded, Spy began sculpting by keeping the main branches and creating a perfect circle. The coolest thing about all of this? It is certainly that as the leaves change, the colors of the work will change too, in permanent mutation just like the seasons that pass.

    The new shape draws attention to the beauty of nature that populates our cities. It is mandatory to stop and observe and get lost in the infinite details that mother nature offers us.
