Created as the original artwork for the Buenos Aires solo music project Pastoral: Otras Nuevas Formas by Juan Tortarolo.

The work originated as a reinterpretation of the painting ‘Romantic Landscape’ by John Trumbull. It explores symmetry through the imperfect and human gesture of drawing, while revisiting the tradition of landscape through a modular system: a quadriptych in which each drawing has interchangeable positions and can generate new compositions.

The structure mimics the musical figure of the loop—allowing the drawings to shape a sampled panorama.
