Stepping stones

Featured in:

“Lost in Translation”, Rosenblut & Friedmann, Madrid

Rather than defacing the trees or painting the rocky ground with arrows, ancient hikers would assemble a vertical stack of stones, often called “cairns,” to signal that they were following the correct path. In her painting of the Cercedilla mountains, Batungbacal paints fallen cairns amidst an unforeseen forest, daring to ask the traveler: “How would you continue on?”
