This exhibition presents a curated selection of ceramic pieces and photographic works from The Quantum Botijo Project. The installation brings together handcrafted botijos and their corresponding photographic 
interpretations, creating a dialogue between matter, light, and scientific imagination. 

The Quantum Botijo Project is an interdisciplinary artistic exploration at the intersection of ceramics, photography, and visual simulation. Inspired by quantum physics, cosmology, and the fundamental questions surrounding the origin and structure of the universe, the project does not seek to explain scientific theories nor to simplify complex physical models.
 
Its objective is different.

Rather than providing answers, the exhibition invites visitors to pause and ask questions. What is matter? What is reality? Where does form begin? What does it mean to observe? Through clay, texture, light, and image, the 
works propose a reflective space where science becomes a source of inquiry rather than explanation, encouraging each viewer to construct their own interpretation. 

This dialogue between art and scientific thought emerges from the collaboration of three creators, each contributing a distinct language: ceramic form, photographic interpretation, and computational visualization.

Biography:

Concha Cuadra
She is a ceramic artist and conceptual creator with a background in Industrial Technical Engineering. 
From her studio in Málaga, she merges traditional techniques with a contemporary and research-oriented perspective. 
She draws inspiration from science, matter, and emotion to create works that invite reflection. 
Each piece she produces seeks to tell a story through sensory experience and symbolic meaning. 

Santiago Martínez de Septién 
Engineer and amateur photographer, born in Burgos in 1964. 
Over the years, he has developed a strong interest in quantum physics, cosmology, and science communication themes that inspire much of my work. 
His contribution to The Quantum Botijo has been to capture, through photography, the essence of each ceramic piece and its connection to the physical concepts it represents. 

Jürgen Döllner 
German mathematician and computer scientist, specialized in computer graphics and visual computing, since 2001, he has held the Chair of Analysis, Design & Construction of Complex Computer Graphics Systems 
at the Hasso Plattner Institute (University of Potsdam). 
He is deeply interested in the nature of reality and in the possibility that the universe may ultimately be an extraordinarily coherent simulation.
