Fragility exists all around us and manifests itself in what fades trough ephemeral and temporal. P. Cézanne says: “Nature is always the same. But nothing of what is manifested to us remains in it. Our art must, for its part, convey the tremor of its duration with the elements, the appearance of all its changes”.
And yet, we can also perceive elements in the landscape that seem immovable, immutable. In my project I seek to explore in the landscape what is apparently immutable in nature based on its changes, its transience.

Claudia Gallegos graduated from the National School of Arts, UNAM, 1994.
