SPIRITICA – WEONA

SPIRITICA – WEONA In southern Chile, where the land fractures against the Pacific Ocean and the Patagonian wind sweeps across black cliffs and humid forests, there is a precise point where the elements met in a definitive way: Punta Chana, on the island of Chiloé. Here, the sea is dark and deep, crossed by icy currents rising from Antarctica. Not far away stands the majestic Volcán Michinmahuida, a volcanic giant of Chilean Patagonia. In the 19th century, a massive lava flow generated by its volcanic activity reached the ocean, giving rise to one of nature’s most powerful spectacles: incandescent lava entering the frozen sea, generating steam, new rock, transformation. It is from this primordial encounter that WEONA draws its inspiration. In these same waters, oral tradition speaks of the Pincoya, an ancestral marine figure who emerges from the waves to dance upon the surface of the sea. A feminine ocean spirit, symbol of prosperity, mystery, and natural cyclicity. WEONA translates this myth into olfactory matter.
