“Cristina has explored the concepts of the underground through her ongoing Pozo pieces, having made her first Pozo in 2006. In these well sculptures, water runs in differently timed cycles, inviting the viewer to think about an unseen below, an undefined depth that both emanates and gathers water. It is this idea of the subterranean or the underneath that has continuously interested the artist, and it is in that limitless space where Iglesias constructs.

 

These works exploit several interactions: the shiny and smooth surface of the geometric structure is opposed to the organic and crawling forms of the interior topography, and the artificial vegetation is juxtaposed to the real water. The result is a mixture of emotions: the sound of running water sooths while the vision of the petrified nature and the dark holes gives a sense of foreboding.”
