Maternity

Monuments

The 'Maternity' that presides over the courtyard of the Prada Casadet housing complex, like the needle of a clock, like the arrow that marks the north and south, like a weather vane. Another characteristic of Subirà's work is wood and movement. The movement that his constructions give off (and not only metaphorically, but also explicitly, because 'La maternidad' is volatile. It moves. It turns like the needles of time as the wind blows. With harmony. Like one of those giants in Don Quixote, who were not giants but windmills). La maternidad' is one of the many works of Subirà that have ended up becoming public heritage. Street characters. Urban beings. Like so many others... Those pieces of wood -Subirá usually works with material from Gabon, strong and resistant and that gives a luminosity that other woods do not exude- arranged intelligently enough to transcend the real. To impose itself. To awaken feelings. Sensibilities. Emotions. Or, simply, for using it as a compass rose. To know where the wind is blowing from. Subirà-Puig does not give readings of his works. He lets all the spectators do it. He plays, plays and plays, until he finds what he thinks he was looking for. Then he puts an end to his work
