The Odds
The Odds is an immersive landscape shown at the Southwest School of Art’s main gallery in San Antonio, TX (May - July 2017). This individual exhibition curated by Mary Mikel Stump is considered a whole piece on its own.
The Odds is composed by a collection of individual pieces related by their location and by their conceptual and technical origin. Installed along six tons of black, glittering sand and layered with a multitrack soundscape, this artwork was inspired by the energy-matter relationship and by retro futuristic and Sci-Fi aesthetics.

En una gota de agua caben un universo y sus eternidades. Caben, por supuesto, sus bestias que flotan apacibles, caben su rumor marino y la sal disuelta, su destello de cristal, su olor prehistórico.
En el desierto y en el vacío más absoluto, verdades y fantasmas surgen y se desvanecen por igual: Cada gota del océano y cada grano del desierto, implica el resto de los planetas probables, sus bestias, sus civilizaciones, sus ruinas y sus estrellas.
A single water drop can contain a universe and its eternities. Inside, its gently floating beasts fit, their sea-murmur and the dissolved salt, their crystal glint, their prehistoric smell.
In the desert and in the most absolute vacuum, truths and ghosts arise and vanish equally: Every drop in the ocean and every desert grain imply the rest of the probable planets, their beasts, their civilizations, their ruins and their stars.
