From the cosmogonic approaches of the ancient Greek philosophers to the medical theories of the 16th century, the vision of the world, to a greater or lesser extent, was subordinated to a fractionation of the universe in search of elemental substances from which it derived the reality. From these theories, the work Cambio, investigates the connections, as pointed out by medieval authors, that exist between the cosmos and the human body. Likewise, the Spanish medical writers of the 16th century resort frequently to the notion of the four elements and defend a theory of the correspondences with the corporal humors and with other qualities grouped in quaternary orders.
Ingenious's examination of Huarte de San Juan has often been pointed out as a synthesis of these ideas, because perhaps that is where the correspondence between the four elements and he four bodily humors is best found. Like that cyclical and tetralogical conception of the universe and of man, which started from a pre-Socratic approach, my sculptural proposal Cambio seeks to be a symbol of the connection between man, the universe and the four elements that compose it.
On the other hand, the choice of wood for the realization of this work is conceptually based on the idea that comes from traditional Chinese medicine, which relates this material to the
maintenance of a free and continuous energy flow. In relation to feelings, this translates into the proper management and expression of emotions that are constantly changing.
