Against all odds - Limited Edition 1 of 1 Sculpture

ENGLISH - ESPAÑOL For my husband, sailing has always been something magical. He loves galleons and that's why he engraved one; It’s his way of allowing himself to dream weeks in a subject that he is passionate about. While he was engraving it, he told me that one day the three of us would go for a ride in a galleon; that he and our little boy were going to raise the sails with the rest of the crew and that he wanted me to dedicate myself solely to contemplate the landscape. On the other hand, I did the case. We wanted to make a box for the glass to protect it during the trip. As we wanted it to be a special box, I began to dream sailing in that beautiful galleon, I imagined that we were exploring new territories and that during those trips we made freehand maps, describing what is important for an explorer: the water sources, the dangers in the sea, forests, inhabited areas, food, etc. That map, became an old map of a mission that we had, in a parallel dimension. That’s how was born the story that was expressed in the parchment, with my husband we immediately knew what had happened there, when he was captain of that galleon. This work of art is composed of three elements: the carved glass vase, the box where the glass is kept and protected, and the scroll that tells the story where everything is connected. As technical detail the glass measures approximately, in its top 8.5 cm in diameter and has a height of 9.5 cm. The box measures 12.5 cms x 12.5 cms x 24 cms approximately. It is made of crystal glass, the box is made of MDF and is lined inside in cork sheet; the map is made in parchment and watercolors. Para mi esposo navegar siempre ha sido algo mágico. Le encantan los galeones y por eso talló uno; es su forma de permitirse soñar semanas en un tema que le apasiona. Mientras lo tallaba me decía que algún día nos íbamos a ir de paseo los tres, en un galeón; que él y nuestro pequeño iban a izar las velas con el resto de la tripulación y que él quería que yo me dedicara únicamente a contemplar el paisaje. El estuche por otro lado lo hice yo. Queríamos hacerle una caja al vaso para que lo protegiera durante el viaje. Como queríamos que fuera una caja especial, empecé a soñar navegando en ese hermoso galeón, imaginé que estábamos explorando nuevos territorios y que durante esos viajes hacíamos mapas a mano alzada, describiendo aquello importante para un explorador: las fuentes de agua, los peligros en el mar, bosques, zonas habitadas, alimento, etc. Aquel, se convirtió en un viejo mapa de una misión que tuvimos, en una dimensión paralela. Entonces de allí nació la historia que está plasmada en el pergamino, con mi esposo supimos de inmediato lo que había ocurrido allí, cuando fue capitán de aquel galeón. Esta obra de arte está compuesta por tres elementos: el vaso de cristal tallado, la caja donde se guarda y protege el vaso y el pergamino que narra la historia donde todo se conecta. Como detalle técnico el vaso mide aproximadamente, en su parte superior 8,5 cms de diámetro y tiene una altura de 9,5 cms. La caja mide 12,5 cms x 12,5 cms x 24 cms aproximadamente. El vaso es de cristal, la caja está fabricada en MDF y está forrada por dentro en lámina de corcho; el mapa en pergamino y acuarelas.
