Mazapanes en Agosto

This project talks about a part of our culture, the individual and global perception of our own and other people's time. It refers to an alteration of our natural rhythm caused by the economic system of globalization, which affects agriculture, and is responsible for climate change, where winters are increasingly warmer and society decides to sell the Christmas season in August. The Mexican haciendas are spaces that remain as a vestige of a time of economic splendor in the agricultural, livestock revolution, and the production of tequila and mezcal. In these spaces, time has passed and there remains the trace of an ephemeral moment in the deterioration of its walls that shows versions of a process of transformation and adaptation to circumstances. Time has been an important element in my life, as it reflects momentary feelings of disagreement with my surroundings. My father by profession, a watchmaker, always lives time with great precision. The most significant gift of my childhood was a wristwatch. Its purpose was to understand the value of someone else's time. Time was no longer governed only by day and night, or light and darkness, but by a specific number, set by the hands of the clock.
