A work based on the phenomenon of communication. Deconstructing books, the artist creates two and three-dimensional works. Sanchez does not seek narrative, there is no story, her work focuses on the rhythm, movement and feeling that is born from her hands becoming form.
And so the telephone directories, words without meaning or content that arise from the sacrifice of trees, are reborn as new entities in the form of fossilised paper trunks, because this is inevitably what happens to the unread and unused word; it becomes a relic of a forgotten past, an inert fossil that hides the secrets of the life that was. Encyclopaedias that agglutinated wisdom are transformed into heavy objects laden with knowledge that hide treasures no longer recoverable, words that want to be poems where only the form is relevant.
