What Falls Short of Drizzle...

This is a series that appropriates the photographic image through the etching and aquatint techniques of metal engraving. It is composed, so far, of seven copper plates, whose sizes coincide with the original photographs, which establishes a direct link with the family archive.

The material used, bronze, has an intense golden hue that gives it a warm appearance. The surface of the metal varies in its appearance, depending on the type of intervention: sometimes it appears opaque, while in others, the polished surface acts as a mirror, creating a visual interference by reflecting the observer or the environment. This work, thanks to the technique used, allowed me to rethink the forms of memory, as the drawing, under the action of acid, is transformed into a print that can, if desired, reproduce other prints on paper. However, it is also possible to conceive these traces as cracks or fissures, through which fragments of thought escape. In the same way, one could think of the wound, which in its essence, is also capable of replicating itself.
