Especies simbióticas: el ser humano y el caballo como vínculo auténtico

Abstract

This essay speaks from a personal and deep experience with the horse and the formation of an authentic bond that is given by the understanding of equine behavior with their own and with the other, their instinct and emotional perception. He addressed the importance of body gestures and how they become the language between two different species. He also generated crossroads of ideas about physical contact and the transfer of emotions, allowing to reach mutual surrender. A symbiotic relationship that is represented by the intertwined bodies. Transferring affection through touch was the key concept to carry out this project, as it was always present when working with horse hair, from its collection to the completion of the work. The process of trapping and mudding were rituals of connection with the experiences, which seek to be represented in some way through the pieces created.
