Oscar Murillo: El pozo de agua

“El pozo de agua is conceived as a reservoir of resources, experiences, and knowledge that moves between the intimate and the collective, the local and the global, the material and the immaterial.” – Magalí Arriola, 2025

El aljibe – Agua de mi jardín.

All things of the land, culture, nutrients becoming, soil, knowledge, who we are… us!
Sedimentation of time.
Mountain stream! a river here weeps away grievous spirits, an infinite vitality, goodness, purity – it feeds, nurtures – deep, always mysterious arteries of life twenty feet below – my water well.
Against it lies the body – turbulent, lost – insatiable, disruptive always more –
a landscape,
a field,
maíz! sugar,
bodies, spirits – scarred
Up my gaze. Rush in thought… us! the world.
Black flakes of snow fall gently – green leaves gone! Scarred field
Soiled feet – land
