This work belongs to the Plastic Nature series, in which Sofía Cristina Jiménez examines the presence of synthetic objects within ecosystems traditionally associated with organic continuity and biodiversity. The composition presents a metallic pink dolphin rendered as an inflatable figure, positioned above calm river waters surrounded by dense tropical vegetation. The reflective surface of the figure contrasts with the layered greens and muted tonalities of the forest and water, establishing a formal dialogue between manufactured materiality and natural space. The scene is constructed as a suspended coexistence rather than a narrative event. The inflatable form neither integrates into nor disrupts the environment, remaining visually isolated within the landscape. This strategy allows the work to address environmental themes indirectly, focusing on symbolic presence and spatial tension rather than explicit representation. The animal figure functions as an intermediary between human-made material and natural habitat, reinforcing the artist’s ongoing investigation into the intersection of artificial and organic systems. The original title given by the artist is Geo and the Amazon Plastic Nature XV, situating the painting within a broader body of work that uses plastic and inflatable imagery as a conceptual framework for contemporary ecological reflection.
