"In the West, the most powerful ally of beauty was always light; in traditional Japanese aesthetics the essential is in capturing the enigma of shadow."                                                                                                                                                            The Praise of the Shadow, Junichirò Tanizaki



  Perhaps like dreams set against the light of other dreams, the shadows acquire increasingly deeper and darker shades and layers, in the same way as that childish and brutal game, with which nature has to move forward with that blackness alive in its entrails full of weeds and abandoned villages. A chiaroscuro that keeps the nuances of an infinity of dialects that have to unite to rise in a single song to beauty and reveal an ambiguous universe where light and shadow are confused.


  Thus, distilling the essence that Tanizaki gives us with his essay and the concept of resilience that we can find in the Kintsugi, this project, Mussara, a set of 23 frames where each of the houses of this enigmatic and abandoned village of Tarragona, is presented.
