Construccions filials: la cimentera i el ciment
2021
I am interested in the relationship between the body and architectural structures, in both, the physical and mental relationship that is established with the spaces we occupy. I analyse how the characteristics of these structures affect our daily behaviour and determine the way we perceive the environment and, therefore, how we relate to it. I try to address this relationship through sculpture, taking on questions of form, materiality and appearance. In fact, I think of sculpture as the materialisation of this relationship, as the fusion of the body with an architectural structure. — Mònica Planes
