GREEN SALT COLONY III

Maria Luísa Capela

2024

Waving bodies, native navigators in a sea of glory.
Delicate asparagus grows unimpeded by light, with roots facing the soil's fragility, sliding in this tyrannical garden in open space of 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 certain 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 erupt below the surface like explosions of colours facing extinction due to human intervention. When we speak of isolation, we announce pristine reefs as giant heated gardens on the brink of collapse, akin to an irrecoverable short circuit.
We repopulate harmony - a troubled attempt to rectify an undeserved legacy.
