Artist Statement
English It was a large, damp and dark space. As he walked he could feel the walls, which were apparently made of branches, bushes and what looked like river plants. From the echo of the voices he knew he was not alone. He couldn't explain why he looked back, maybe because he felt lost. In the distance he saw the light of what was once a way out and as he moved away from it, the sound was more and more defined, his curiosity was immense. With a single noise the mouth closed, he was trapped. |
Español Era un espacio grande, húmedo y oscuro. Al caminar podía sentir las paredes, que al parecer estaban hechas de ramas, arbustos y lo que pareció plantas de río. Por el eco de las voces supo que no estaba solo. No podía explicar el por qué miro hacia atrás, quizás porque se sintió perdido. A lo lejos vio la luz de lo que fuese la salida y al alejarse de ella, el sonido era cada vez más definido, su curiosidad era inmensa. De un solo estruendo se cerró la boca, quedó atrapado. |
