Installation in the garden of the Royal Academy of Spain in Rome

"Isabel Cuadrado has some visionary and very intelligent. His works are beautiful to me. They have an unquestionable moral burden and strong, sometimes stoic. Throw emblems on men. Va spreading through the galleries and trees defined shapes, boxes that contain slogans that talk about you. She knows better than anyone that time is passing.
One day I saw her climb on a ladder, searching for something among the leaves of a tree in the garden of the Academy . By far and it seemed an act of delicacy and beauty. But as I approached I was thrilled to see that he was putting in their own tree branches leaves played with a screw press on glossy paper, exactly the same, with every nerve and its forms. One by one, tied with the thread made out of leaves for herself. One by one numbered destinations full of nature. Had to look carefully to notice the glass of his speech. The work he had done was not for men, it was for life. The branches continue to grow, the natural leaf fall when the autumn came, but would remain theirs. There were grafted onto the tree of eternity possible. "

Applying the above, a definition and interpretation. We are immersed in a world of interpretations, perhaps with the exception that some enjoy greater consensus and others are subject to powerful changes, adjustments, changes ... over time and space, so much so that while some are only valid a person granted, others have meaning for millions.
interpret what happens around us, what happens to us, what happens to the rest and are at the same time interpreters of our thoughts and emotions. We can not avoid having a particular conception of external reality or make a kind of translation of our interiority in our quest communicate with others.
Language is an ideal instrument to interpret reality, and has such complexity and power that sometimes we have to remember that words are not things.
This facility was built around the sound of breathing, a sound before the word, seeking a minimum unit, primary, inarticulate, common, recognizable.
Avoiding words by substituting inspirations and expirations, we go back to times when human physiology still had no language.
Upon entering the room we hear the sea or wind, all the breaths, the chorus of performers, takes us back to nature. Just as we approach individual perceive his breathing, his breath, his soul.
According to writer Charles Nodier the different names of the soul, in almost all the villages are so many changes onomatopoeia breath and breathing.
There are many commonalities between breathing and create, the two activities subtle work with materials most elusive to those who undergo internalization after leaving them outside transfigured.
In another development the two processes, respiration and capacity can be developed on a voluntary basis, to exert conscious control over them and also to involuntary or unconscious level where no we are directly responsible for the outcome.
These two layers are mixed, communicate and reflect, sometimes confusing the boundaries between body and soul, conscious and unconscious.
could talk about the happy coincidence of language level that makes the inspiration is critical in both cases.
breath and create us "oxygenate", providing food, physical and spiritual in a case in another. Most importantly, both are necessary for life.

Installation made in the furnace of the Citadel of Pamplona
Lana and light, 5 x 5 x 8 m.
The work exploits the peculiarities of space, an old brick oven dome and floor circular stone. It is a wool base structure that hangs from the highest point of the room, the old furnace vent, creating a shower of cone-shaped wire in the ground draw irregular circular shape, adapting to the concentric arrangement of the original stone pavement.
The public can walk around or get inside to get inside the cage or trap resultant loses all menacing due to material that is made, white wool yarn, in a playful way of breaking the closure means.
The circle inside the circle, the building made of stone and brick, the strength of the building contrasts with the lightness of the "construction" woven in an insulating material and related to the domestic warmth.
