The moon has been an object of fascination throughout history. Loaded with meanings that evoke both the visible and the hidden, its light reveals a shadowy world, subtly illuminating what darkness tries to hide and creating a space where the imagination unfolds with greater intensity. Night hides the detail, noise and distractions of the day, inviting a state of introspection and emotional connection with the place. In this gloom, the absence of light stimulates mystery, suggesting that beyond the visible there are other hidden truths. It is at night that the shadows seem to come alive and the unknown becomes a blank canvas for fantasy. Its light, faint but constant, acts as a beacon revealing contours, silhouettes and reflections that transform the landscape into something magical and dreamlike. This contrast between the hidden and the visible is the terrain in which the most recent work of Haya Blanco (Santiago, 1984) moves.
