Installation on the courtyard of the museum
Large format installation, 30 meters long, with earth, natural fibers and tobacco. The earth as a fundamental living element that lies at the bottom of the rivers. Ambiguous image between the strength of the living and a possible drought of the precious liquid. The presence of tobacco alludes to the origin of man in the indigenous cosmogony, mother, feminine entity like the earth.
