Naturæ
This project explores the meaning of nature in an urban context, where we find forces that are apparently at odds. The project contrasts a cold and mechanical idea of the self, with another that is organic and full of life. Naturæ also takes up the topic of progress, given that the city is the symbol par excellence of modern society: present and future. The general idea of “a nature” outside oneself has lead mankind to a constant fight against it, to the point of forgetting their organic self-concept.
In reality, we are so intricately connected to our environment that it is impossible to separate ourselves from it in anything we do. Even the simple act of feeding oneself requires such a complex series of events external to our bodies that it could be said that anything we do is what the whole universe is doing at a particular time and place. Human beings, proposes the philosopher Alan Watts, flourish from the planet like an apple grows out of an apple tree and yet this notion flies over our heads in the everyday. We are not only part of nature: We are nature.
In the series Naturæ, Sierra explores what it means to carry nature within. It is a meditation on how we, as human beings, want to see ourselves in regards to Nature.
Paradigms
Paradigms, Sierra's debut project, opens up possible lines of inner questioning through his first series of “Consciousness Portraits”. How we see and what we expect of ourselves determines vastly how we relate to our own life, yet we seldom stop and find the time to consider how it is we see ourselves. The artist invites the spectators to question their physical, corporeal and mental limits, or their parameters for progress with titles like Where do I end?, What is my progress? or Who do I want to be?. It is an invitation to consider ideas about the self, which have more or less transformed into fixed paradigms in the everyday.
Imagine Not To Be
This project began from an inner conflict with the artist’s beliefs about death, which lead him to realize they were more conditionings than beliefs. Searching for his own answers about the meaning of death, Sierra began to see that the project was as much about what it means to live. Death began to take shape not as the opposite of life but more of a compliment, a Ying and a Yang or opposite pole if you must, but of the same thing.
Imagine not, to be takes no interests in the artist’s final answers, but instead highlights the process of questions and ideas that lead up to his conclusion. This project describes the nuances and changes the artist had in his idea of death, and therefore life.
