Earth’s Lament

Victor Riera

On the seashore, if you listen carefully, you can hear the earth's lament. Starting from the idea of intangible heritage and the importance of preserving it, I wanted to delve into the concept of fragility and the ephemeral. But during the creative process, I realized that the work had to evolve into something deeper. This is how I imagined an ancestral lament, the voice of Gaia begging to be heard. Because beyond the mission of saving our sounds, there's an even more overwhelming path: the Earth itself needs to be saved.
