The series “À Deriva” comprises 8 installations crafted from materials found by the sea. This creative endeavor begins with a desire to reimagine and repurpose what has been discarded. Utilizing pieces of wood, remnants of fishing gear, and rusty nails—objects that have traversed oceans and arrived on the shore bearing their own stories—these installations breathe new life into materials that once served as essential supports for someone but now lie abandoned in the sand.

These materials, having endured the ravages of time and saltwater, become crucial elements in the creation of abstract installations. Their weathered and deteriorated states are transformed into objects of beauty, brought into the spotlight through artistic expression. This series highlights the passage of time and the potential for discarded objects to be reborn as art, offering a new perspective on the materials' histories and inherent beauty.
