Montiel-1985 - "ALTA MAR"

In the vastness of the ocean, where the horizon dissolves between water and sky, this vessel moves forward as a metaphor for human existence. It does not sail merely on the waves; it also traverses the uncertain territories of memory, time, and fate.
Its hull, marked by wear, speaks of journeys accumulated, of storms weathered and silences shared with the sea. Matter reveals the traces of experience, reminding us that every transformation leaves a mark and that every scar holds a story.
The sea, represented as a living, changing force, symbolizes what escapes our control: the cycles of nature, the movements of life, and the invisible currents that guide our steps. In the face of that immensity, the vessel becomes an act of resilience, an assertion of the human will to press on even when the course is not entirely visible.
The moon suspended in the distance functions as a point of orientation and contemplation. It is the silent presence of the unknown, the faint light that accompanies those who cross the night in search of meaning.
Alta Mar is a reflection on the inner journey. A invitation to recognize that, just like this ship, we are all bodies in transit: built by our experiences, driven by our dreams, and sustained by the hope of reaching new shores.
