The series depicts several fragments of the Himalayan mountain range. In Eastern culture, this landscape is bestowed with great spiritual references because of the imminent connection to nature and the vast quantity of sacred places that ordain a space loaded with transcendent meaning. It is within this assumption where the strong symbolism of the mountain acquires a significant duality: the mountain as temple and the temple as mountain.

Taking this powerful and sacred representation into account, the series of interventions made in the photographs try to point to the intrinsic meanings given by the environment itself. The structures serve as a sort of ´poetic architecture’, mandalas erected as light structures composed of geometric minimal figures which are articulated within their context, a kind of “perfect sculptural temple” that honors unattainable perfection; structures that represent the spiritual ascension and the consciousness of time that humanity adds within a vastness whose footprint is almost invisible; an allegory of an internal dialogue with nature, where the external landscape that we are acquainted with enlightens our internal one.
