EL SOMNI DE LA BARCA – SANDYCOVE BEACH – CORK (IRLANDA)

Cork, 2016- Vision Boat. Clarividència “EL SOMNI DE LA BARCA”

Project carried out at the prestigious European center National Sculpture Factory in Cork, Ireland.

I created the sculpture in the workshops at the center, using wicker and car tire tubes. Later, I took it to the sea, specifically to Sandycove beach, in the Kinsale area, a place with a beautiful landscape.

This beach, protected from the wind, allowed the boat-sculpture to float peacefully.

The true voyage of discovery does not consist of seeking new landscapes

but by looking at the world with new eyes.
