This installation consists of two works produced through research grounded on the notions of abandonment and memory. The works question the relationship between people and objects, human and non-human entities, and how our perception of time affects individual notions of relating in the everyday reality that forms the collective unconscious.
The works present man-made objects found in the brute urban landscape contrasted with substances of raw nature. The results are systems where "things flow throughout things", confronting the idea of substance, matter, element, and object, over re-created and deconstructed structures present in the daily life of modern society.
The work operates over the apparent 'perpetual flow' of different physical states of materials which do not possess a defined form, acting over solid and defined shaped structures. It triggers a discussion of how the comprehension of the concept of 'nature' is fluid and constantly reshaped by how we perceive the relationship between the material and immaterial, questioning where does it lie the boundaries between energy and matter, being both substances in a never-ending amount of possibilities which points to notions of 'infinite as something that never ends and had never begun'.
