A rigid and yet dynamic material transforms. Imaginary places, other worlds. Casts of internal plastic surfaces that become external plastic landscapes, projection of an inner motion. Interior and exterior, universal and yet intimate landscapes. Micro and Macro cosmos meet, converse. Light and shadow, surface tension, projection of intimate landscapes in constant emotional change, external and intimate atmospheric alterations, where the outside and the inside become confused. Part of an infinite universe, which we inhabit and are inhabitants. Subjects of time that transforms things. Lived places or distant and solitary landscapes, unknown territories where you can imagine or hope for new beginnings. Here we meet, on the surface of things.
