From a house, a home, and from a home, a nest

Sparrows, robins and other birds inhabit the trees that surround this house.
Perhaps the most complicated thing is not always finding a house or where to live, but rather making it a home.

Taquen is a visual artist from Madrid. Involving the community in the process is an important aspect of his work. His works are based on his own experiences and relationship with nature, where he spends most of his time. Taquen uses natural elements as metaphors for human problems, relationships, feelings and instincts.
