# A Translating Body - Parque Explora

A sensory installation for Parque Explora’s Mind Hall.

I designed and animated the imagery for A Translating Body, a sensory installation in Parque Explora’s Mind Hall. The animation was made for projection in a physical space, following the museum team’s script about how the body perceives the world.

**Installation narration · Parque Explora** You discover yourself as an echo of evolution. A body that rose, hands that learned to create, and a voice that emerged from within the bones. You are but a blurry gesture in the cosmos, a material being that touches immensity only to feel what dwells both inside and out.

**Installation narration · Parque Explora** What are these lights? Are they clouds? Are they suns? In this stage, you are a translating body that turns the universe into an inner current. You are invited to abandon the name and surrender to pure sensation: to let a flash become a spark in your brain, a caress become an electric charge, and the air become chemical streams. Here, what happens in the deep speaks the language of light.

**Installation narration · Parque Explora** Listen. Here, you discover that your body shares the substance of the world. A river’s current holds the echo of the first sounds, and in every stone, you find animal and plant relatives. It is an experience of profound connection, a moment when one thing becomes another, and you realise that your life is also the others.
