– Casa Wabi 2021

Community Project

Seres Vegetales
The objective of the project was to create a sculptural installation within the Botanical Garden of the Universidad del Mar, Puerto Escondido campus. The pieces created within the framework of the project are sculptures of burnt clay and polychrome metal, which create plant entities with anthropomorphic features and welcome all visitors to the space.
The clay pieces are intervened with prints made with leaves, cacti, seeds and gourds of the different plants that are in the foundation’s gardens, thus creating faces or masks. The metal structures emulate the roots of the mangroves, so that by placing all the pieces together they generate the idea of a mangrove that is alive.
