"Chiromorphose" 2010
Nico Baixas / Gos-com-fuig 
(Photographies by Mara Sanchez-Renero)
 
This hand composition photography achieves the most mathematically precise gesture in the Chiromorphose catalogue—interlaced fingers forming perfect triangular ascending structure through bilateral symmetry. Each finger positioned to create harmonious negative spaces mirroring across the vertical axis, where Fibonacci proportions inherent in finger bone lengths produce natural aesthetic balance. Baixas' Cirque du Soleil background informs the anatomical precision: this gesture exists at the edge of sustainable tension, held for the photographic instant before release. Geometry emerges from flesh rather than imposed upon it.
 
This work explores the sculptural capacities of the hands. Stripping them from their symbolism or the functions for which they are normally used, I explored them like someone examining a foreign body, searching for their limits and pushing them in different directions. To do this, I used opposed sculptural concepts like straight-curved, and simple-complex; searched for the interconnection between fingers, and the balance between distances, and tried to generate geometric shapes and textures. At times, I would find shapes that were like doors opening onto a myriad of new possibilities. Throughout the process, I discovered a world of fingers that transformed reality taking it to another level.
