Gabbiani’s Spectacles evoke an unsettling blend of beauty, awe, and fear, capturing not only the destructive power of nature but also its enduring cycles of rebirth, resilience, and renewal. Living in Southern California—an area where wildfires are both frequent and increasingly intense due to climate change—Gabbiani draws from her immediate environment, making her work deeply personal as well as globally resonant. Her imagery reflects the precariousness of life in a fire-prone landscape, where devastation and regeneration coexist, and where natural disaster becomes a constant, looming presence.
