As part of my site-specific and autobiographical practice, I made a series of walks in Blanca, along the Rio Segura in Spain. One by one, these walks define a territory that embodied my imagination, concerns, creativity and physical ability. The rough beauty of the valley struck me. It is a working environment that reflects the area’s economic activity and wealth. People appear to lead simple, quiet lives. Walking allows me to engage with space intimately, to observe, document and exchange. At first, I collected roadside debris, plants and rocks that I kept as a colourful and eclectic collection in my studio. Later, I photographed the trash I found on my walks to bring attention to the environmental crisis we are part of. In these photographs, I examine the aesthetic and poetic connectedness between humans and the material world and how light, time, and the weather activate the landscape. The anecdotes are told from memory to give a voice to the people” I met on my walks.

Como parte de mi práctica artística específica del lugar y autobiográfica, realicé una serie de caminatas en Blanca, a lo largo del río Segura, en España. Una a una, estas caminatas definen un territorio que encarna mi imaginación, mis inquietudes, mi creatividad y mi capacidad física. La belleza agreste del valle me impactó. Es un entorno laboral que refleja la actividad económica y la riqueza de la zona. La gente parece llevar vidas sencillas y tranquilas. Caminar me permite conectar íntimamente con el espacio, observar, documentar e intercambiar ideas. Al principio, recogí restos de la carretera, plantas y piedras que guardé en mi estudio como una colección colorida y ecléctica. Más tarde, fotografié la basura que encontré en mis caminatas para llamar la atención sobre la crisis ambiental de la que formamos parte. En estas fotografías, examino la conexión estética y poética entre los seres humanos y el mundo material, y cómo la luz, el tiempo y el clima activan el paisaje. Las anécdotas se narran desde la memoria para dar voz a las personas que conocí en mis caminatas.
