The project

"L'hora quieta" is a project based on a world, apparently abstracted from people. An investigation of the essence of what surrounds us, of what was before and what will be after we disappear. It emerges from the small details that go unnoticed in everyday life: fogged windows, a door ajar, lights that tint uniform walls. Echoes of human imprints that have built, desisted, and abandoned. It is a journey of the soul towards abstraction and darkness when everything disintegrates and only sparks of colour remain. A journey towards nothingness and towards everything through the small things that seem alien to us but which, in reality, are what sustain us.
