This project is made up of a series of photographs taken in the space where I did the Vision Search (Sacred Fire of Itzachilatlan) on the island of Ibiza in October 2015, guided by María Valdivia. Thanks to her, to the people with whom I shared the mountain, to the mountain of Morna for its comfortable hillside, to the other people who were supportting from the camp. And thanks to myself, for being able.
"I voluntarily climbed a mountain and stayed there for a period of 4 days, without food or drink, wearing warm clothes and what I needed to sleep.
I felt in total harmony with the nature that surrounded me. There were no magic or visions, maybe yes?: The vision of the starry sky, the surrounding plants and bushes, the big trees, the birds flying ... I enjoyed the color of the leaves that changed according to the light and the moment of the day, I enjoyed the smell of the land, I enjoyed the songs of the birds, I enjoyed the sound of the wind, I enjoyed the darkness of the night, I enjoyed the dawn.
I heard my heart beating, I felt my breathing incessantly.
I was alive and present as I think the animals are.
At times my mind catched fire and others calmed down like a frozen lake.
My great fear was the thirstiness, I thought I would not stand it. Once there I saw that the fear had been only my imagination, was very easy to bear. I do not remember having suffering neither by thirst nor by hunger.
Being alone and silent does not bother me, four days is a long time and I enjoyed it.
I was one more of that ecosystem.
Surrender....
Silence is important,
tranquility is important,
To know oneself.
When I climbed off that mountain I did not have anything that I did not have before."
