Ánfora en llamas

This 'amphora in flames' celebrates the rescue of a century old olive trunk which was destined to be burned. Santiago sources his wood locally, recycling the ancient olive trees that have been replaced by new ones. He finds inspiration for each piece during the turning process, exploring the intriguing characteristics of trunks that are never the same from one tree to another.
