By default, the imaginary of the cabin refers us to loneliness, to flight or, even, to the romantic demand for pre-civilized, savage isolation. Unlike what we might think, life in the Arce’s forests has little to do with those premises. Without grudges or boasts, the artist is committed to a life and a profession that intensifies harmonious coexistence with the place as a system of exploration of the world. Precisely, coexisting – living with another or others in the same space and time – is what marks the processual character that defines his way of doing art. In addition, through this gesture of recognition of nature, the artist also finds – without fleeing, I insist – a new dimension of the community.
