There is an immediate sense of recognising the uncelebrated regions and vistas in these landscapes, which speak of both the topography and cultural experience of Chile. There is a powerful reverence, a personal connection, and a steady plea for environmental responsibility.

The artist’s physical and metaphorical mapping of the Chilean terrain provoke the viewer with profound issues, as it imposes an ethical obligation to consider the effect of human activity, economic progress, and natural disasters, while celebrating the land.
