This is a cycle of five pieces whose common root is the free inspiration with my living with the sea. Although I had no programmatic intentions, in each piece I got involved with a specific environment:
Sea Edge: it is the one last limit, where the space makes feel that one can go to the Endless, exactly as in the beginning of Love.
Coco’s Breaker: on the high tides these waves break closer to the beach, guardians of the space-sea, warning people with their big drum.
Wing 1: a hypnotic marvel, of unimaginable lightness – the Spirit of God hovers over the waters, on the wings of animals that fly/ float between the wind and the sea. Human animal with only one wing, flying attached to the water – ecstasy in the Spirit.
Kid of the Blue: the dolphin. I dedicate this piece to all of them.
Wing 2: people's wing, windsurfing. Transparent and magical plastic, candle that lights up in the kiss of the wind. Run over the salt, carried by the air: the lightness of being is sustainable.
