In this minimalist diptych, Bach contrasts the night and day. Llorens Bach uses a slower exposure to capture the gulls in flight on the left, while the gentle river grasses and plants are given the same gentle treatment.

Bach contrasts perfectly the earth and sky, light and dark.

The series Gaia takes its names from the hypothesis by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, which describes Earth as a single superorganism in which living beings and the rest of the planet establish a self-regulating equilibrium that ensures the survival of the whole.

In this series of diptychs, Llorens creates a duality of meaning by juxtaposing two photographs of natural elements found in Llorens' own natural habitat. These two individual images combine to make a third, holistic, harmonious whole, which differs from the simple sum of its parts, as described by Ralph Gibson in 'Overtones and Proportions'.

'Gaia' was recently voted into the Top 10 of LensCulture's prestigious Critic's Choice Awards 2023.
