The Serpent that traveled between worlds.
A long time ago, before the world split into earth and sky, the great serpent Amaru moved through a vast living ecosystem where everything existed in harmony, where forms were fluid and boundaries had not yet been drawn. Animals carried traits of one another and new beings emerged every moment between species, while trees migrated in slow herds and birds and fish shared the same space.Amaru moved through it all, watching it over, her body glowing with shifting colors, her two heads whispering to each other releasing an echo across the winds, and holding the balance between every element that ever existed.
One day, a great storm arrived, full of colour, full of light, full of force. Within her beauty storm broke the continuity of the world, and confused everything and everybody. Currents collided, forms separated, light scattered, and what once flowed as a whole was pulled apart. Species divided, landscapes were forced to choose a place, and what had once been shared became distant, leaving behind a version of the world that no longer recognized itself.
When the storm settled, Amaru began to move again, gathering fragments along her path—a shadow, a trace of light, a memory of what once belonged together—carrying them within her long, coiled body and bringing them into proximity once more. The fragments did not return to what they had been, but as they came together new constellations were formed. When her journey ended, Amaru disappeared, blending herself into this new world, becoming part of it, but without having a presence of her own.
In my work I gather fragments that were once something different, to then change their form through intuition, to change their connection to the world and design a new one, creating a tension that through harmonious composition, eventually dissolves.
