Description

From the Engulfment series. Archival pigment print. Overall size: 150 cm H x 115 cm W. Individual size: Engulfment, Mosquera 1: 150 cm H x 55 cm W. Engulfment, Mosquera 5: 40 cm H x 60 cm W. Edition of 3. Unframed

The first encounter I had with the abyss, was arriving to a place that does not exist, a point suspended in time where I am without being. An unreal world expands in front of me, everything here is stripped of identity; it's a void with volumes and textures in which I transit. The abyss is not aggressive, it is not violent, and it is not tangible, but it exists: “Is the abyss no more than an expedient annihilation? It would not be difficult for me to read the abyss, not as a repose, but as an emotion. I mask my mourning by an evasion; I dilute myself, I swoon in order to escape that density, that clogging which makes me into a responsible subject: I come out: it is ecstasy."

This artwork juxtaposes two striking images of arid landscapes, primarily in deep, rusty red hues. On the left, a towering, eroded hill showcases nature's raw majesty, with deep crevices cutting through the earth, hinting at relentless geological forces. The texture is rugged and the color is intensely warm, evoking a feeling of desolation yet robust beauty. On the right, a smaller image captures a naked human form curled in the fetal position, lying vulnerably on the barren, Mars-like terrain. This contrast draws attention to themes of isolation and humanity's fragility against nature's immense and unyielding canvas. The composition is minimal yet profound, engaging the viewer in a contemplative dialogue about existence, survival, and the stark beauty of untouched natural landscapes. This artwork succeeds in creating an emotional resonance, uniting human vulnerability with the earth's enduring resilience.
