EEDDM (El encuentro de dos mundos – The meeting of two worlds), are 7 leaves from a tree that are cut down the middle and arranged on the wall so that the cuts reveal a white rectangle of the wall itself, suggesting a joining of the leaves. The title refers to the period of colonization in the Americas, when the arrival of Europeans cleared the way for a complex culture, mainly linked to nature, of the indigenous peoples who inhabited this region of the planet.
