To come closer is never a neutral act.

Getting close changes how we see and understand. It dissolves the safe distance that lets us remain observers and turns us into participants in what we are looking at. It exposes us to exchange —to the complexity of looking closely at others and at the worlds they carry, without claiming to fully know them.

Coming closer is not always ease or comfort. It asks for attention, patience, and the courage to stay when proximity begins to unsettle.

Through scent, clay, vapour and memory, Emilia González Salgado assembles a series of works that turn proximity into method, insisting that attention itself can be a form of contact.
