 In Esther Ramos's ceramics installation “El Somni entre dos Mons” (Dream Between Two Worlds), the important thing is the one that is not seen. It is the mystery of the hidden and the intuitive perception of the secret that hides beyond form. It is in the impossible dialectics between the physical and the metaphysical where the soul is revealed, where the silence of thoughts, emotions and sensations speak. Absence and presence simultaneously. Synergies of Natural Perfumes, invisible but perceptible, reinforce the idea of the hidden.
