Ana Sanchez’s sculptures, made entirely from recycled paper, transcend conventional material boundaries to evoke a profound sense of movement and vitality. These three-dimensional wall reliefs radiate an energy that oscillates between the ethereal and the earthly, evoking the fluidity of rivers, the ebb and flow of the sea, or the gentle sliding of raindrops. Her creative process, deeply rooted in intuition and chance encounter, is reminiscent of a collector who, guided by intuitive logic, selects materials charged with possibility. Water, the central theme of the work, is manifest not only in the forms but also in the philosophy that guides the artist's work: the organic nature of the creative process, the acceptance of chance and the ability to adapt what is found to create something new and full of meaning. Each piece captures visual and emotional sensations that resonate with the poetic and the metaphorical, uniting the natural and the created in a liquid harmony. The choice of recycled paper as a medium is not only an aesthetic decision, but also a statement about transformation and resilience. This delicate yet resilient material takes on new lives under the artist’s hands, revealing unexpected textures and shapes that evoke the erosion of water on stone or the movement of wind on waves. De Agua’s works seem to be in constant metamorphosis, capturing ephemeral moments that, like water, are never the same twice.
