Solsticio revisits the interest in light’s journey through different surfaces, continuing the explorations in pieces like ‘Parabola’ and ‘Shifting Parabola’, it analyzes the passing of light on metallic surfaces to understand refraction, paths and fragmentation in different planes that gradually highlight its many faces.

 Solsticio displays a series of luminous metal pieces, radially articulated and assembled, where the light fragments and bounces its spectrum in several directions. The absence of light becomes as relevant as its presence.

 The resulting objects present as industrial quality machines, as if in laboratory or a research facility — manifesting a dystopian vision of the future as imagined by our ancestors; specially alluding to time machines and space travels of the 40’s and 50’s, and even analogies found in dystopias like ‘Metropolis’ (1927) by Fritz Lang. 

Solsticio is based on the skills’ knowledge of artisan workshops by challenging them, promotes their craftsmanship and the evolution of the technique on the use of materials, as well as the link between them. Solsticio sconce was presented at Salón Gallery Weekend 2021 in Mexico City and is part of a limited edition collection.
