Simetrías IX
Symmetries explores the tension between order and uncertainty through the mirrored reflection of the same image. Each diptych presents a duplicated fragment, creating an illusion of balance that is never fully realized. By deliberately concealing the original image, the series breaks the expectation of perfect symmetry and shifts attention to the realm of perception, where the mind reconstructs what remains absent.
The decision to show the same image on both panels, but displaced or incomplete, generates a fascinating visual tension: the diptych ceases to be a mere repetition and becomes an exercise in perception, where the viewer mentally reconstructs a whole that is never actually seen. This opens up interpretations of memory, reflection, duality, and the impossibility of accessing an absolute image.
The work posits that all reality is fragmentary. The visible never exhausts the phenomenon, just as no single gaze can encompass the totality of experience. By repeating an image without showing it completely, the artist transforms repetition into difference and makes the viewer an active participant, responsible for reconstructing a unity that always remains unattainable.
The diptych does not offer closed answers; it proposes a space where perception oscillates between certainty and uncertainty, revealing that meaning is born precisely in what is missing.
