Las Ermitas, Córdoba (Spain), December 2017 Opposed, but attracted, a magnetism that cannot be explained, but remains foreseeable. Water and earth, fire and air, light and darkness. Calm and excitement, passion and indifference, brightness and gloom. Harmony and conflict, love and hatred, sense and madness. Alternating opposites, overlapping, taking turns.

Mas La Plana, Santa Maria d'Oló (Barcelona, Spain), December 2017 A hundred lights on the move to rekindle a single one, a hundred hearts, wide open, a hundred wills in a line to wake up the Light of the Earth.

A hundred steady pulses with their bright light shining, a hundred heartbeats echoing in the air, a hundred drums on the ground to give and receive the energy of the forest. A hundred souls together, a hundred shiny dots joined, a hundred wills leaving a trail to grateful welcome a new winter.
