The idea for the project began with an unexpected encounter. On a remote volcanic beach, far from any trace of human presence, I came across the remains of a large dead fish resting silently on the sand. That view stuck in my mind, leaving me with a sense of helplessness, which made me want to understand more about the island’s biodiversity and the species that inhabit it - some thriving and others increasingly at risk. By analyzing the shape and structure of the head, I identified strong resemblances to the grouper—a species known for its strength, longevity, and solitary life in the depths of the ocean, yet at that moment it was dissolving.

The titles of the works symbolically reference the Latin names of fish and bird families, representing elements of nature: Serraniidae (water) and Procelariidae (air). The third piece, Ovum, signifies rebirth and renewal—a return to the beginning and the potential for transformation. Consistent with much of my work, the nude figure is central to the narrative. It is deliberately detached from identity, aiming to communicate a shared human experience. Through this series, I hope to spark a moment of reflection and to highlight how fragile human existence is, and how dependent we are on a balanced and healthy ecosystem.
