Inspired by ojo de buey, a South American protection seed traditionally carried as an amulet against misfortune, this work unfolds as a suspended, rhythmic system of balance and tension. The ceramic elements—seeds, needles, and pendulum—are arranged in a vertical composition that oscillates between stillness and potential movement, evoking both ritual precision and fragility.

The repeated seed forms function as symbolic carriers of protection and continuity, while the elongated, sand-textured needles suggest acts of piercing, marking, or channeling unseen forces. At the center, the pendulum drop becomes an axis of orientation, recalling systems of divination and the search for equilibrium between material and spiritual realms. The presence of water introduces a reflective and temporal dimension, amplifying the work’s sensitivity to motion, gravity, and change.

By translating an organic talisman into ceramic, the installation preserves and recontextualizes its protective function, transforming it into a contemplative structure. The work reflects on how objects migrate across contexts—shifting from intimate amulets to monumental forms—while retaining their symbolic charge as vessels of belief, protection, and transformation.
