From the series Mareas. Cyanotype on 300 gr cotton paper. Mounted in a high-resistance borosilicate glass petri dish. Overall size: 36 cm Dm x 12 cm H x 2.4 cm Deep. Individual Image size: 10.5 cm D. Each Petri dish: 12 cm Dm. x 2.4 cm Deep. Unique.
The title of each piece corresponds to the geographical coordinates of the place where the pieces were made. The last number indicates the number of waves the paper received. The piece is protected in an acid-free PH-neutral glassine paper envelope, archival quality. Shipped rolled in a stiff cardboard tube. For several years the artist Paola Davila has generated various visual statements from photography. Beyond the self-imposed limits in thematic terms (the house, for example), this exercise has allowed him to articulate concerns and situate spaces: inside, outside, and the limits between one and the other. From there, with the landscape as support: as an extension of situations contained in intimacy or in the object, it has insisted on making its way within other thematic and media fields to different complexities of the idea of also inhabiting the public and finding a voice own in the contemporary photographic narrative.
This captivating artwork features a series of three circular forms resembling petri dishes, showcasing intricate, abstract designs reminiscent of organic growths or celestial bodies. Each piece exhibits a stark contrast of white and blue against a deep black background, creating a sense of depth and movement. The leftmost piece evokes the branching patterns of coral reefs, symbolizing the intricate complexity of marine life. The central piece appears as an amorphous cloud, suggesting change and fluidity, while the rightmost design evokes mystic, cosmic imagery with swirling contours. These unique forms captivate with their delicate interplay of light and shadow, inviting viewers to explore the mysterious intersection of art and science. The work's symmetry and order, juxtaposed with organic irregularity, produce a dynamic visual tension, challenging the observer to ponder the boundaries of nature and human interpretation.
