Intervened photography, art, Mexican design " Primera Derrota" by Sumie García
About the Item
In Spanish, the term for the course a boat navigates from one port to another is called "derrota." Interestingly, in English, a literal translation of this word is "defeat." However, delving deeper, this linguistic play unveils a rich metaphorical layer, especially in the context of nautical and colloquial expressions.
The phrase "primera derrota" (first defeat) resonates with profound symbolism, echoing the transient and subjective essence of maps. It suggests a narrative beyond mere geographical coordinates, hinting at the fluidity of journeys and the inevitability of change.
In this artwork, the ethereal islands of clouds, frozen in a single moment, intersect with meticulously drawn lines reminiscent of wind roses found on ancient portolan charts from the 14th and 15th centuries. These lines not only guide navigation but also symbolize the intricate paths we traverse in life, where every "derrota" holds the potential for new discoveries and unforeseen victories amidst the seas of uncertainty.
