S'Enclusa
S'Enclusa, located on the island of Menorca, was a U.S. military communications base operating between the 1960s and 1990s. Following its abandonment, the site entered a gradual process of transformation.
This project examines that transition, where former military structures are progressively overtaken by vegetation, dissolving their original function and meaning.
The work begins with a typological observation of abandoned barracks, but shifts towards a landscape in which natural growth becomes the dominant force, reconfiguring the space.
The images concentrate on how control and decay share the same ground, with architecture and vegetation meeting in an uneasy balance.
The complete project consists of 16 photographs. Each title corresponds to the name of a plant appearing in the image, both in Latin and in Menorquín.
