Spread across sixty meters, Ripening consists of hand-painted gauze panels. Each narrating a unique story, encountered during travels across the country. These landscapes, ranging from the Amazon Rainforest to Quibor, left a profound impression, particularly the diverse colors of the soils. The gauze acts as a metaphorical womb, fostering the germination of beans and seeds. Natural pigments extracted from avocado seeds and coffee grinds are utilized to explore a vibrant spectrum of colors. The resulting hues are extraordinary, capturing the essence of the depicted environments.
