All the ashes that appear in the photographs of this project belong to people who passed away in 2018. During that year I carried out a process of monitoring and accompaniment to a small enclosed territory, located in a cemetery.

​

This place, called The Garden of Remembrance, is a green space surrounded by rose bushes, which is available to the relatives of the deceased for the scattering of their ashes.

​

Periodically I visited this land intervened by figures and silhouettes that were drawn by chance and precision when the ashes of deceased people were deposited in the ground, as a result of the rituals of memory and farewell that are carried out in this place.

​

I recorded and accumulated the different states of this landscape of bodies in constant transformation, and observed the modifications that the passage of time and the forces of nature itself; the rain, the wind, the sun, exert on the bodies, creating new relationships and forms.

​

Images formed from tensions and balances between apparently opposing forces, such as the figurative and the abstract, the floral and the dry and the living and the dead, as a result of a cyclical, latent and performative process where individuals are transformed, mixed and fade away, offering us the tangible presence of a residual vestige.
