Solagua is a motorized installation inspired by El Castillo, the Mayan temple whose form reflects early integrations of water filtration and the tracking of solar cycles. The work traces a path back to earlier understandings of energy and its rhythms, where natural systems were observed, negotiated, and respected.
It begins with a question. What if a solar panel could cleanse itself, instead of using large amounts of water through manual cleaning. What kind of system would allow energy to sustain its own conditions of care.
Solagua revolves around the desire to imagine energy as something not taken, but continuously negotiated through an ethical system. It sits within a long-standing inquiry that does not seek a fixed answer, but remains open and evolving.
