The exhibition title, “The Silent Spring,” references scientist Rachel Carson (1907-1964), whose groundbreaking 1962 book was the first to highlight the dangers of pesticides, sparking a debate that remains relevant today.

In her works, Ursula Palla draws on the unique diversity, delicate fragility, and surprising resilience of nature to create captivating images and spaces filled with poetic beauty. At the same time, her installations push this natural beauty to its limits—where diversity becomes a fear of loss, delicacy turns into fragile daring, and strength transforms into an unstoppable force. With a keen awareness of present-day environmental concerns, Palla explores the complex relationship between humans and nature, highlighting fundamental ecological issues. Through her art, she seeks visual expressions of these themes, addressing them on a deeper, more resonant level.
