El Bosque de Qualtron is a site-specific installation that explores the intersection of industrial obsolescence and ecological memory. Built entirely from the remnants of a bankrupt computer parts manufacturer, the work breathes a "second life" into discarded technology, transforming 100% man-made materials into a mechanical ecosystem.
In this series, the rigid components of the digital age—circuitry, wires, and hardware—are reimagined as the organic structures of a forest. Each sculpture serves as a surrogate for the natural world: a tree, a flow of water, or a specific animal. This process of reclamation is deeply personal, rooted in the landscapes and memories of my home in Honduras. By translating the cold, failed history of an industrial company into a living, breathing forest of the mind, I am investigating nature's resilience and the possibility of transformation after structural collapse.
