GREEN SALT COLONY II

Maria Luísa Capela

2024

Waving bodies, native navigators in a sea of glory.
Delicate asparagus grows unimpeded by light, with roots that face the fragility of the soil, sliding in this tyrannical garden of open, salty green and forced into socialization. Beings dependent on water and salt, residents of dusty and muddy stagnant waters, experts in hydrated slopes – Salicornia by name.
Firm subjects emerge in the precise confine between the arid heat of the earth and the immense contrasting reflection of the sky, emerging in the landscape like a moss numbed by the sap of the sea and the air.
Halophytes - resilient guests of the quicksand of sodium fertilization.
In the pulsating heart of the sea, coral colonies break below the surface like explosions of colors becoming extinct due to human intervention. When we speak of isolation, we announce pristine reefs as gigantic heated gardens on the verge of collapse, like an irreparable short circuit.
We repopulate harmony – a troubled attempt to rectify an undeserved inheritance.
