Sara Bonache Ríos invites us to look at nature from different perspectives and at different scales. In “The Air That Dances in the Mouth”, painting and pastel bring to light forms, patterns and relationships that often go unnoticed, from references to the world of bees to images in constant transformation. As the scale changes, so does the hierarchy: human beings are no longer at the centre, but become one part of a living system, connected to everything around them and in constant exchange.
This is... good to know
The exhibition explores the ultraviolet patterns on some flowers that guide bees to nectar. We cannot see these patterns, but bees can. It’s a reminder that we don’t all see the world in the same way.
