This exhibition is the result of the communion created by the artists' journey, which has become a joint endeavour. The images resulting from this pilgrimage have been created on foot, without a specific direction, discovering elements that have later acquired an extraordinary significance: the bones, found in an illegal dump, first photographed and then added to the sculptures. The flowers, offered by Cristina in the cemetery of Formentera and later collected by Andrés to be included in his sculptures. Or in a cave, present in the colour of the clay and in the shadows superimposed in a snapshot. The ruins, the caves, the places that are far away from mass tourism and that give a glimpse of the reality of a place once inhabited by Phoenicians, Punics, Romans and Arabs.

Cristina's work captures virtually non-existent moments that seem to vanish the instant they are observed - her work is a witness to the different ways of inhabiting time. The pictorial character is enhanced by an obsession with texture - through her obsession with detail or the transformation of the object into a landscape, she obscures what we observe by rarefying the obvious. This way of seeing the world is aligned with her exploration of the island, where memories of the past are present, but subtly - almost imperceptibly - and disguised as the present. A sense of anachronism is also reflected in the specific approach of each practice: the immediacy and technology of Cristina's photography is the counterpoint and balance of Andrés' pieces. His works are an account of the alchemical but extractivist nature of sculpture: clay collected in the mountains by himself, pine resin, bones, oil. His sculptures explore transcendence through movement, between what rises towards the sky - what is released - and what sinks into the earth - what is returned. Andrés captures this tension between seemingly opposing forces, narrating an experience of Ibiza that transcends the purely corporeal.
