This poetic of looking through the window.

Of simple architectural element and of several practical functionalities, structurally linked to the house and the requirements of the dwelling, the window also allows us to conclude it as a poetic element and approached as object with diverse significances developed throughout the times.

His act of letting himself be seen through it lends itself to a horizon, to enlarging the rooms of the house to the limit of our sight.

He entrusts to the subject from the interior the visual relation and the dialogical interaction with the world.

The sight that allows and offers us, fragmented, incomplete and unfinished makes it attractive, mysterious, hideous but at the same time safe.
