In the high mountains of Colombia lives the frailejón, a plant that captures moisture from the fog through its leaves and then liberates the water through its roots. Bodies inside each other is an installation that explores the interconnected relationship between the frailejón and its environment. A glass piece, inspired in the interior of the plant, contains ice and through a process of condensation transforms the atmospheric humidity into drips of water collected in a ceramic vessel shaped after the stem of the plant. I conceived the sculpture as a body for the atmosphere to manifest itself.
