Description

It arises from the alteration of landscapes and ecosystems caused by the extraction of natural resources, proposing a contrast between the image of gold and concrete; and the negative impacts that their extraction can have in social, environmental and economic terms; establishing a direct relationship between the consumption of natural resources and the exploitation of nature.

Each of the column-shaped structures were struck at the top generating an irregular surface that was later covered with gold leaf. These columns are located on the floor in a serpentine form resembling the horizon of the mountains from which we extract the materials for the construction of the pieces.
