SAGRAMENT
"All that you touch, You Change. All that you Change, You Change you. The only lasting truth is Change." — Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower
SAGRAMENT is an installation and performance that frames the artisan act not as labor, but as a sacrament—a sacred, devotional ritual of transmutation. It is a pilgrimage in material form, where the body, the earth, and the lineage of the past converge.
Spanning thirteen meters, the work consists of hand-sculpted ceramic vertebrae, bones, and thimbles. These pieces are a response to the millennia of human expression that saturate the Mallorcan landscape. From Talayotic settlements to the enduring influence of successive civilizations, the island functions as an energetic substrate of history. SAGRAMENT is the thread that binds these past voices to the present.
I operate as a conduit in this exchange. The clay acts as both medium and mentor, possessing an ancient language that dictates the terms of its own becoming. To sculpt is to surrender to this rhythm, moving beyond intent to reach a state of total resonance. This is a devotional exercise—a haptic mantra that shapes my identity as much as it defines the form.
Each element is a synthesis of history and innovation. SAGRAMENT does not occupy space; it reconfigures it. It invites the viewer to witness the creative act as a holy encounter, transforming the craft of ceramics into a lens through which we view the permeability of our own existence. It is, ultimately, a declaration that to create is to partake in a sacrament—a sacred integration between the maker, the earth, and the infinite.
