Jaiotzak
Painting, In situ. 2023
Public commission


Jaiotzak is a series of six murals for the town hall of Sohüta in Soule, Basque Country.
The series explores hatching and emergence in natural environments, particularly rivers.

These emergences are brief metamorphic moments during which aquatic insects become winged beings. The river is also a place of gathering and passage for the “swallows,” the name given to Souletine grandmothers who crossed the border to sew espadrilles and seek refuge during times of war.

This project was supported by the Berpiztu grant from the Basque Country Agglomeration Community.
