Baruch Vergara • Water-Falls, 2018 Etching and aquatint
Our nature is wild and of sublime expectation with a vulnerable temperament just like a teenager. When we look at a waterfall, we realize its relentless movement, that same energy that humankind has when it explodes and shouts no matter the clatter when it falls. Ravaging this, water carries its course, and mankind his cause. The water falls, the man falls, both are at play. Forces spill over, something is out of control. The overflowing energy excites us, and so does speed, volume, and mass. It is a lie that less is more, more is always more and is insatiable. And although the fall is inevitable, both natures will never stop. Who has fallen more times?
