As soon as I had engraved the three top pieces with white color overlay, I knew that this installation's name would be inspired by Christopher Columbus' voyages when he 'discovered America' and the vessels they traveled the Atlantic .
According to history books, Columbus led his ships 'La PInta, La Niña y La Santa María' in the pursuit of new territories and riches. So when I was invited to participate in the 4th Iberoamericana Design Bienal in Madrid, I knew straight these were the pieces for the occasion. This installation represents the moment when the Iberoamerican concept was born and the cultural exchange that happened after this discovery.
This installation was selected for the 4ª BIENAL IBEROAMERICANA DE DISEÑO. Madrid, Spain. November 2014 l http://www.bid-dimad.org/
