Skagaströnd, Iceland

The main objective during my residency at NES has been to explore the visual side of my project “LA MUDA. UN AGUJERO ENTRE EL ESTERNÓN Y EL OMBLIGO", an interdisciplinary and documentary art project about child sexual assault and sexual violence. The project is structured in three parts: a theatre play, a compilation of testimonies, and an illustrated art book.
I've explored the resonance between the Icelandic landscape—volcanoes, lava, cracked earth—and the feelings that remain in your body once you have been sexually assaulted—fear, rage, shame, nausea; using oil painting, drawing and preparing some copper plates to be printed in Barcelona. I've been so inspired by the Spákonufell silhouette and the stunning colors of the sunsets and midnight sun during this month in Skagaströnd.
