Elements such as the amphora or the sea function as both metaphors and forms of experience. Each object assumes the figure of the circle in a particular way, whether in the tire, in the mouth of the amphora, in the jewel and also, figuratively, in the cyclical movement of the sea or in the journey within the exhibition space. These circles, which run through the entire work, activate a temporality that rotates, returns and transforms. Thus, while natural elements such as rubber, bronze or copper, construct an amalgam of material perceptions, the amphora establishes, for its part, a singular relationship with [&hellip;]"}
