It is an installation that connects with the natural elements of the cosmos in a sculptural way. This embodiment is inspired in mythological tails of ancestral gods who were made invisible and their worship stopped or was transformed during colonial times. For many this created a disconnection with the essence of existence.
Within the installation, I stimulated an emotional relationship with elements of nature through ceramic work. The installation made the public aware of all their senses while engaging with elements of nature, such as the sounds of the sea, the smell of soil and cinnamon, the metaphorical constructions of nature landscapes within the sculptures. The positioning of sculptures and objects in the 50m2, was inspired in ritualistic processes, such as the ones developed in temples.

I made new versions of ancestral gods by finding the commonalities and adding to their narratives. While making the sculptures, I imagined some of the pieces as a landscape and as an entity at the same time. This way of working follows an ancestral belief that everything is part of the world but also the world is contained in every small piece.
