Archipiélago Etéreo
Marea Serena
"Living fossils shaped by tide and time."
Curatorial Overview
Emerging from the chaos and serenity of Puerto Rico's shores, Marea Serena is a meditation on time and nature as master sculptors. Driftwood shaped by currents and pumice born of volcanic fire converge into a living landscape, a dialogue between erosion and emergence.
Each fragment of wood and stone is meticulously joined to the next, like pieces of an ancient shoreline puzzle fitted together in seamless continuity, to form a singular, unrepeatable cartography of nature, a flowing pattern that seems to echo the very tides that once carried them to shore.
Genesis
Marea Serena approaches natural materials not as inert objects, but as living witnesses to time. Each fragment of driftwood and pumice was carefully hand-selected from the island's shores, honoring both the quiet resilience of erosion and the forces that shape the coastline. Puerto Rico itself rests upon ancient volcanic foundations; within the work, this geological history becomes a tactile narrative, where stone and wood converge as traces of the island's deep natural memory.
