The one and the other, cool and warmth, pavement and earth, dualities that portray the meaning of life. Atmospheres that wrap up cities, earth from which hidden prints emerge, steps from men that are there today and tomorrow won’t be in the same place. Motion, tango, the music of the stroke, its curves and its angles.

Sketches of identities lost and found again. Through the brick dust, asphalt from the road and objects she finds, María Emilia Marroquín exposes to us the textures of the countryside, the tact of the urban.
The sculpture unveils the motion, the matter wraps the shape and one is able to play with it, to touch it, to look at it in different ways.

Balance with juxtaposed materials: wood and metal that amalgamated end up being strength and symbol. To be like the merger of opposites. The materials make up a dialogue between opposites. They understand each other and intertwine to present us with the Man and the space he inhabits, what’s filled and what’s empty. Duality, dialectics, what goes away and what remains… Roots, earth, always earth…
