In the heart of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, the Agave stands as a silent protagonist, overshadowing the emblematic Palmito despite its invasive status. Over time, its peculiar and charming aesthetic beauty has captivated visitors, turning it into an icon of the park. However, its existence is threatened by the devastating impact of the red palm weevil, creating a truly desolate visual spectacle.
Agave Anatomy features a series of paired images, highlighting its aesthetic affinity and fostering a unique visual dialogue. The spines, color variations, and marked lines on its leaves inspire and offer an unparalleled visual experience. Each photograph reveals the profound evocation created by the plant's spines, alternating between a menacing presence and a serene calm. The marks and scars on its leaves evoke the complexity of Egyptian hieroglyphs, telling stories through their shapes and contours. Throughout its life cycle, from youth to decay, the leaves display an inexhaustible color palette as chlorophyll gradually fades within them. These images are intended to be testimonies of a species facing extinction in the near future.
