Humedal N°6 (Wetlands) rises from the studio’s research into coastal ecosystems, where plant species such as reeds and totora grow. It is with these fibers that the first fabrics were developed in 6000 BC in Peru. The wetland ecosystems serve as a transit point for migratory birds and guano birds that come in search of warm climates from various places: the islands, the Andes, the Amazon and different regions from the North and South Poles to the equatorial zones. Wetlands behave as natural filters thanks to the plants that grow in them, and their capacity to retain water makes them one of the most productive ecosystems in the biosphere.
