Catarina Spinetta, 2022. Elements- Agua Exhibition
EXHIBITION ELEMENTS
The four elements —water, air, earth, and fire— are more than a reference to nature; they are the forces that, since time immemorial, have shaped human existence. These elements have been used by alchemists to represent not only the physical but also the emotional, spiritual, and social.
Eyddos appropriates this tradition to question the dichotomies that structure us. Earth and water, traditionally associated with the feminine, and air and fire with the masculine, are here reformulated. In Eyddos, rigid categories do not exist. The transformation of the elements is not only a physical matter but one of identity, gender, politics, and belonging.
The Ether, as the fifth element, becomes the catalyst for this transformation. This principle, which in ancient times was considered the essence that united the cosmos, is here reconfigured as the space that unites the fragments of identity, history, and culture, making up the human experience.
EXHIBITION ELEMENTS: WATER
Water, essential and omnipresent, is the fluid that gives life but also the dissolution of rigid structures and the disappearance of pre-established boundaries. It is, at the same time, the possibility of transformation and the reflection of the constant fluidity in identity.
Water is adaptable and changeable. Here, water is not only the principle of life but also the powerful force that breaks down the established, that removes certainties, that carves into stone. Alchemists linked water with desire, and here, that desire is not simply emotional: it is the desire to reconfigure the world.
