Fortaleza

Artwork details

A piece born of the need to protect and sustain. The compact volume of the iron acts as a closed form, as a boundary, and as a refuge. In *Fortaleza*, the material does not open up: it remains contained. Like *Querido miedo*, that boundary is not merely a restriction, but also a structure. A space that, at times, protects and, at others, prevents progress. The surface, marked by the process, reveals that this solidity is not absolute. It has been pierced, transformed, lived through. From this dense foundation, light emerges, creating a tension between what shelters and what needs to expand. The piece is not about eliminating the boundary, but about recognizing it: inhabiting it, understanding it, and ultimately deciding to what extent it defines us. From that dense base light emerges, generating a tension between what shelters and what needs to expand. The piece does not speak of eliminating the boundary, but of acknowledging it: inhabiting it, understanding it and deciding, finally, how far it defines us.
