Volar
Wings symbolize the human aspiration to fly, free ourselves, flee, and see the world from another perspective.
Since I was a child, I think we have all played at flying, climbing as high as possible from somewhere and launching ourselves, experiencing the sensation of floating for a moment. Watching my son grow up, I watch him play the same thing: that dream of feeling nothing but the wind, but gravity always wins. Aspiring to go higher and higher, as high as we can, despite often not having the resources or limitations to do so.
As in the previous series, I have attempted to observe nature from another perspective to conserve, understand, and observe it. The taxidermy bird wings are fascinating representations of the beauty and grace of these winged creatures, a symbol of what we cannot accomplish, even with a little envy when we can get up and escape everything so easily. By photographing taxidermy bird wings, you capture the details and textures that are otherwise difficult to observe, offering a unique perspective.
In some indirect way, I wish to emphasize the importance of preserving these species and protecting their habitat. This will help us understand the beauty and complexity of these winged creatures, reflect on our relationship with nature, and desire to escape, to float silently.

Las alas han sido un símbolo de esa aspiración humana, de querer volar, de liberarnos, huir, observar desde otra perspectiva el mundo que vemos. Desde niño creo todos hemos jugado a volar, subir lo más alto posible de algún lugar y lanzarnos, por un segundo sentir esa sensación de flotar, veo crecer a mi hijo y juega a lo mismo, a ese sueno de no sentir nada alrededor más que el viento, pero la gravedad siempre gana. Siempre creciendo con esa aspiración de cada vez ir más alto, lo más alto que podamos, aunque muchas veces sin los recursos necesarios para intentarlo o con limitaciones impuestas a esos sueños.
En esta serie, como en otras, he buscado observar la naturaleza desde otro punto de vista, bajo ese deseo de conserva, entender y observar. Las alas taxidermizadas son una representación fascinante de la belleza y la gracia de estas criaturas aladas, ese símbolo que representa lo que no podemos hacer, incluso con un poco de envidia al poder levantarse con facilidad y alejarnos de todo, la taxidermia ofrece una perspectiva única en muchos aspectos, ya que permite capturar detalles precisos y texturas en las alas que de otra manera serían difíciles de observar.
Busco de alguna forma indirecta hacer notar la importancia de la conservación de estas especies y la necesidad de proteger su hábitat, para poder apreciar la belleza y complejidad de estas criaturas aladas y reflexionar sobre nuestra relación con la naturaleza y nuestro propio deseo de libertad, alejarnos silenciosamente y flotar.
