El Cel a la Terra
The project “El Cel a la Terra”, located in the courtyard of the Convent of La Puríssima, talks about earthly existence and divine aspirations, inherent to human beings from their beginnings. The Christian tradition places the origin and destiny of humanity in a heavenly paradise beyond time and space. It is no coincidence that the convents have a central opening in the form of a courtyard, so heaven and divinity are present in the enclosed architectural space of these buildings.
Through the projected installation, Heaven descends to Earth. Everyone can see their face reflected in the midst of the Promised Land and place themselves between Heaven and Earth.
