From the webs of electrical cables connecting the observatories’ multiple telescopes, Domínguez conjures a spiritual being: a chimera that could untangle our cosmic knots – from problems and questions of universal scale, to individual feelings of discord that we cannot account for.

The Cosmic Knot-Aligning Entity references a Catholic devotion popular in Latin America: Mary, Undoer of Knots, a guide to worshippers in times of confusion and nervous tension.

For the exhibition 'Three Moons Below' at Cecilia Brunson Projects, the Electric Saga watercolours are conceived as a series inset in a shrine-like, golden structure, simultaneously abstracting the architecture of CERN’s Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and the altarpieces of baroque churches. Domínguez refrains from a popular distinction between science and spirituality, asking us to put faith in what we cannot see and expand our vocabulary around the invisible and inconceivable.
