The Imperceptible Effort of Things

This artwork is part of the Longitudinal Series, which I started in 2020 and continue exploring through different media, such as paintings, drawings, and textiles. I utilized the physical phenomenon of capillarity, allowing the liquid to climb up the fabric. My part is to observe. Every 8 hours, 50 hours, one week. The liquid rises until it reaches a point where it can no longer go further, and the denser color surrenders. The water, on the other hand, leaves a damp horizon that is later washed away and disappears. Nothing moves on the fabric once the bath is finished, but perception deceives, and the image grows beautifully against gravity, from bottom to top. The repeated folds move sideways, like a landscape passing by quickly, where one is that relative point for things to continue their course. Silence and rhythm. I would like someone to be able to listen to it. I wanted to control the ascent without doing anything, reduce variation, glance sideways. However, each result offers an unplanned image. It is not possible to control everything.
