There is so much sea and a little sand, life and its continuity. Personal space, free of weight, free of measure and free of time. Through exercises that recognize the internal place we inhabit and the intimacy of thought, several imaginary elements of the chair as a totem and safe place were made. These exercises led us to the final pieces. The chair as a functional element that in this case is based on the concept of zafu or zen bench that reminds us of the Japanese zazen philosophy, where za is the position of the body and zen, that of the mind. The clay as an element of the earth that connects us with our essence and the sea that invites us to flow with the continuity of thought. Each clay chair was elaborated from the beginning with the strength and weight of each of the participants, supporting the body and the mind; repairing the fragments and putting the parts together to achieve the final piece that alludes to the place and safe space and that connects through the Pacific Ocean, generating a direct dialogue between two cultures. Puerto Escondido-Buenaventura. The same ocean, different views.
