Captured in Robledillo de Gata, Cáceres, this image belongs to a series dedicated to the theme of goalposts in rural and peripheral landscapes. The composition focuses on a skeletal metal structure standing against a dense woodland backdrop, where man-made geometric lines contrast with the organic verticality of the pines. In this region of Sierra de Gata, these forests represent a vital heritage, sustaining both the local ecosystem and the traditional way of life for the surrounding communities.
The series explores these abandoned or solitary goalposts as symbols of human presence within the natural world. They mark the intersection between sport, memory and the quiet persistence of the landscape.
