Eight watercolours, a series La Luna y La Savia

Galería Nac 2025


Triángulo de agua invites us to enter a world of intertwined stories and submerged narratives, creating a living system in which the human body, trees and lunar cycles merge into one another. The installation is structured around a circuit formed by ceramic arms and branches created since 2019, which today intertwine as if they were an expanded anatomy. Each fragment—moulded from real bodies, both human and arboreal—forms a channel that guides the continuous flow of water, revealing connections that a superficial gaze fails to perceive.

The work suggests a fisheye epistemology, a submerged gaze that destabilises the extractivist view of water to reveal an inverted, blurred visuality that lies beneath the surface. Instead of the ocular distance that separates, Triángulo de agua proposes a way of seeing that allows itself to be traversed by flows, to look from the water, from its movement, from that which links and sustains our bodies.

Around the ceramic circuit, a series of watercolours record the movements of water within the trees according to the phases of the moon. These images become sensitive diagrams where maps link celestial rhythms with the internal circulation of sap, reminding us that all water carries layered temporalities, stories of life and death, memories of landscape, echoes of water-dwelling beings that inhabited these territories long before our presence.
