Urrea.Zilarra / Gold.Silver is an invitation to coexist and share unexpected situations. An opening toward new relations and patterns of recognition. A combination of feral hermeneutics, allegorical truths and secondary meanings.
In religion, different metals symbolise different things and outside of their religious value gold and silver are treasured because of their material properties and history as currency and their role in the storage of wealth. Traditionally, Catholics also considered gold and silver to be beautiful. Gold stands for things that are precious and embodies qualities such as joy and the celebration of good things. Because of its shine and indestructive qualities, malleability and scarcity, it symbolizes the divine qualities of God and the human veneration of the divine. Silver is more abundant than gold and so, in that sense, less valuable, but when polished it is highly reflective. Pure silver is almost white and its whiteness epitomizes the idea of purity, virtue and respect. It is a soft, lustrous, malleable metal and an excellent conductor of electricity as well as heat. It is also highly valued in the making of mirrors, photographic equipment and images and for medical instruments, medicine and in health.
