These photographs correspond to a series of still lives with which I have begun to work this year, 2021. I am using dry vegetation from the mountains around where I live, a place facing the Mediterranean Sea in the southeast of Spain. There, the effects of climate change are accelerating. It is a place in the process of desertification.
