LAYERS: COMPRESSED HORIZON

Small-scale sculptural work composed of nine glass panels with irregular organic cuts on one side, mounted vertically as "layers" with the support of wooden rails on a mirror base with a surface of 40cm x 50cm and no more than 25cm of height for each of the panels.

This piece is developed as an approach for a possible future project executed in larger dimensions. As a small scale model, its main intention is to make evident the vanishing point from the result of the sum of the layers in relation to the glass transparency and the translucent organic lines that overlap. On the other hand, in case it was made at a large scale, this vanishing point would produce an horizon that, mounted in a space surrounded by highlands and plains, it would make an exercise of visual compression of the surroundings horizon line and would make it possible to perceive almost immediately, from two coordinates, the landscape that is drawn between the curves and peaks that each layer has.
