Based on her own silhouette and the scales that it allows her, Martínez traces a vital search in the history of humanity: the geographical location of space through measurement systems. The differentiating element is her own body, putting herself as a surveying tool reactivating what we contemplate in her images: a fictitious axis through the fold, the hand and, behind it, the cadence of the body whole.

The lines that fade under the sun is an invitation to challenge the architectural order of the world from the extension of the lines projected by the images to realize that nothing is linear. Covering the unattainable is the challenge that she proposes to us, although in the end, nobody knows where she stands.
