El Bosque Dormido

En todos mis proyectos hay una búsqueda relacionada con la obsesión de querer comprender el significado vital de los acontecimientos que me toca vivir. Para ello, el punto de partida está en mi propia experiencia subjetiva, en mi intimidad, y la fotografía es la herramienta que me acompaña y permite hacer esa reflexión. 

“El deber más importante de mi vida es, para mí, el de simbolizar mi interioridad.” Hebbel 

El Bosque Dormido es un proceso de movimiento, de descubrimiento, de viaje iniciático hacia una habitación propia en el que la correspondencia con el poeta Roberto Ruiz Antúnez, es el detonante de la creación del mundo simbólico de El Bosque Dormido. Al mismo tiempo, la música del compositor letón Peteris Vasks es un catalizador, convirtiéndose en un estado de ánimo que marca el ritmo de ese movimiento. El Bosque Dormido, es un viaje laberíntico a través de los bosques letones hacia lugares interiores. Es la descripción simbólica y poética de ese lugar interior, y una puerta de entrada al bosque dormido que permanece latente en lo profundo de cada ser. 

“El bosque, el laberinto, el otro mundo, el mundo subterráneo, el mar y las profundidades marinas son descripciones poéticas y simbólicas de la forma en la que percibimos el reino del inconsciente. Es el lugar donde estamos cuando nos perdemos, y es lugar donde necesitamos ir para encontrarnos a nosotros mismos. La indagación, la necesidad de vivir plenamente en armonía con nuestro interior, es un viaje que conduce al ego hasta el Bosque”. Jean Shinoda Bolen 

El Bosque Dormido

In all my works, there is a search related to the obsession of wanting to understand the vital meaning of the events that I have to experience. To do this, the starting point is in my own subjective experience, in my intimacy, and photography is the tool that accompanies me and allows me to make that reflection.
«The most important duty of my life is, for me, to symbolize my interiority.» Hebbel
El Bosque Dormido (Sleeping Forest) is a process of movement, discovery, initiatory journey towards a room of one’s own in which the correspondence with the poet Roberto Ruiz Antúnez, is the trigger for the creation of the symbolic world of El Bosque Dormido. At the same time, the music of Latvian composer Peteris Vasks is a catalyst, becoming a state of mind that sets the pace of that movement. El Bosque Dormido is a labyrinthine journey through the Latvian forests to inner places. It is the symbolic and poetic description of that inner place, and a gateway to the sleeping forest that remains latent in the depths of each being.
«The forest, the labyrinth, the otherworld, the underworld, the sea, and the depths of the sea are all poetic and symbolic descriptions of how we perceive the unconscious as a realm. It is where we are when we are lost, and it is where we need to go in order to find ourselves. The investigation, the need to live fully in harmony with our interior, is a journey that leads the ego to the Forest.» Jean Shinoda Bolen
