Montiel-1985 - "ALTA MAR"

In the vastness of the ocean, where the horizon dissolves between water and sky, this vessel advances as a metaphor for human existence. It does not sail only over the waves; it also travels through the uncertain territories of memory, time, and destiny.
Its hull, marked by wear, speaks of accumulated voyages, 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 contains 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. Faced with that immensity, the vessel becomes an act of resistance, an assertion of the human will to move forward 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 traverse the night in search of meaning.
Alta Mar is a reflection on the inner journey. An invitation to recognize that, just as this ship, we are all bodies in transit: built by our experiences, propelled by our dreams, and sustained by the hope of reaching new shores.
