CATALINA CARRASCO. LÁGRIMAS DE SAL.MÓN

Lágrimas de sal.món are "images that suggest to us landscapes where we find the character in a marine environment. They play with different elements, a table-boat that moves, different fabrics that supply the image of the sea, a tree with leaves that are photos and drawings, seaweed and fish that fly. Our character is submersed in an amusing, exciting trip that leads him to encounter very special beings, half-fish and half-human".
