On 29 Oct. 2024, a natural catastrophe affected a vast territory in Spain.
A meteorological phenomenon has become more severe due to its association with extreme weather conditions caused by climate change.
A geographical line, the uncontrolled Poyo ravine left its traces of destruction, staining a region, its landscapes and the people who inhabit it with mud.
The Project reflects on the catastrophe and its extrapolation to similar phenomena anywhere on the planet.
The need to use mud as a material arose in the project, as it became a tactile and psychological symbol of a society.
The mud material was collected from locations in the flooded areas and, after being subjected to a binding process, transformed into pictorial material.
It created a series of binary images, originating from photographs I took along the ravine basin, which were subsequently engraved on canvas painted with mud paint.
On one picture, the only color photographic print, we see the environmental vestiges of the disaster.
Another important element of the work is a disordered line in its pieces which is composed of 20 elements and runs along the wall, the overflowing riverbed, becoming an abstract symbol.
