Pleamar, created between 2020 and 2021, aims to link the pictorial representation with the basics of ceramics. It is composed by ten high-temperature ceramic plates, each with a 3,9-inches (10 cm) diameter. The ten plates share a visual horizon traced by the glaze thanks to its density, color and texture. These characteristics divide each plate into three parts, giving meaning to the composition with three horizontal planes that change, referring to the sky divided in two planes and the sea.
The 10 acts sequence alludes to the movement inherent in the cycles of the tide, specifically to the process of increasing the water level in the sea until it reaches its highest point. In this way, it suggests a narrative of change and movement in the landscape. This dynamic process reflects the ever-changing nature of the territory and the power that surrounds it, reminding us of the constant struggle for control and influence over the land and natural elements.
This theatrical structure divided into acts adds another layer of meaning to the work, suggesting that the landscape depicted on the ceramic plates is both a stage and a physical territory.
In short, "Pleamar" is not only a visual representation of the sea and the sky, but also a reflection on the relationship between territory and power, exploring how these concepts intertwine and manifest themselves in the landscape and natural cycles.
