Unpredictable Cartographies for Changing Seas

Unpredictable Cartographies for Changing Seas (Cartografías impredecibles para mares cambiantes)

Crafted from recovered and resignified elements, the work superimposes Atlantic Ocean navigation charts, marine topographies, and nautical constellations. Here, the map of the sky is projected as reflected upon our seas: stellar information brought down to Earth to serve as our guide. Thus unfolds the search for new coordinates to navigate a territory in constant mutation—a necessary cartography when direction becomes uncertain as a result of our own footprint.
