Description
Conceptually, the work encompasses a geographical reorganization of the city, a reconciliation with its surroundings, where urban harmony prevails, reflecting these values.
From left to right, the work is composed of two halves on a photograph of the map of the Aburrá Valley. In the first, cement blocks arranged chaotically and held in place by metal beams offer a critical look at the city’s current architectural development. In the second, the blocks begin to organize themselves to find balance, freeing themselves from the beams and establishing a harmonious dialogue with Medellín’s landscape.
