Traces of an imagined collective presence.

An Ephemeral Installation

During the pandemic, when the beaches of Yucatán fell silent and humanity withdrew, I found myself the only one walking upon the untouched white sands of the Caribbean coast.

 

In that profound stillness, I created an ephemeral installation; a trail of footprints gently pressed into the sand, vanishing with the wind and tide.

 

It was a quiet gesture born from solitude; an offering to the beauty that endured even when no one was there to witness it.

 

Each step became a mark of presence within absence; a trace of humanity’s longing for connection, for the rising sun we once gathered to watch together.

 

The work existed only briefly before returning to the landscape; reminding us that even in separation, existence continues to breathe and the world keeps creating endlessly, effortlessly.
