ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Cencellada is a totally intimate series focused on introspection. The key elements common to all the photographs in this series are the same, creating a silent symphony of fog, frost and silence. Through minimalist images, a peaceful gaze of a sleeping, frozen and silent landscape is sought.

The cold, represented by the frost, one of the main protagonists of the series, freezes the moment in time. Every element of the scene is covered in that white frost. The trees, already stripped of their leaves, appear naked, asleep and frozen in the moment. This represents a feeling of cold that invites us to pick ourselves up, to take shelter, to slow down our gaze.

We also find the fog, which hides the landscape, masks it. It is like a veil that covers with mystery what lies beyond the immediate path. The fog turns a cold and desolate landscape into a world full of mysteries, hidden in plain sight.

On the other hand, the water present throughout the series represents the dark background that is sometimes quietly hidden, and that we do not see. It is like a mirror that reflects the light of the world, preventing you from seeing its depth under its calm waters.

Finally, an undeniable key element, not visible, but represented, is silence. Each photograph represents a silent and sleeping landscape. There is not a single element on stage that elicits an idea of ​​the slightest sound. This, along with all the above elements, turns each of the images into a crystal landscape.
