Statement
Wear is a recurring theme in Gonzalez's work. In this line of exploration, the photographer has been working on the representation of erosion as the most gradual and long-lasting manifestation to which we have access in our environment, leaving the process itself implicit in the result. His most recent work highlights the result of centuries of the erosion process on nature, proposing an analogy with the actions of the human being.
