About the artwork:
El cosmos intangible o 'Eso que te prende es invisible' (The intangible cosmos or 'That which turns you on is invisible') –
‘Stubborn that who puts a price on time, the outbursts of the spirit and stardust. That what is most valuable cannot be priced. That what cannot be touched is what is kept forever in the soul. That memory is not made of what the senses grasp.’

Part of the Telúrico series –
(Telluric) Of or relating to the earth.

What is housed in a rock? Through the cutting of a stone it is possible to look at a story as old as the planet. The stones, witnesses of time, of life itself, recount in their materiality, in the cracks, colors, mineral formations, shapes and textures, a synthesis of this place we inhabit and to which we belong.

The native peoples, throughout history and the globe, have maintained a search for earthly unity, for understanding this place and those who inhabit it, as part of the same system. This photographic series is situated in the mineral testimony as a metaphor for ancestral values.

Rocks, like the ancestral wisdom of indigenous peoples, are the result of a very long history, and their existence in the bustle of the present is essentially resistance.

In recognition of this wisdom and the symbolic contribution it implies for this work, a percentage of sales will go to the Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Populations of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Materials used:

Hahnemühle cotton paper, matte protective varnish, box frame.
