The historians in the antiquity when they were referring to the most typical cultures of the Mediterranean were mentioning the wheat, the vineyard and the olive tree. In Majorca, the olive tree took root in the churlish areas of the skirts of the mountains that shape the profile of Tramontana's saw. The thousand-year-old olive tree is born of the graft on the foot of "ullastre", wild shrub that twists without breaking. The growth of the olive tree of mountain is slow and painful. It progresses in a dry soil and looks for the substrate of the mountainous subsoil entering its roots between the splits of the rock.
The branches and the leaves are struck periodic, by the lunges of Tramontana's wind that howl as a flock of wolves in the nights of tempest. In winter they are fallen of the sky by the frost. The hostile conditions are transcribed in the trunks that are twisted on itself as if they wanted to express the suffering of his existence. The time has emphasized the silhouettes that are outlined in the trunks: prehistoric animals; primates, which preceded the advent of the hominids; beings with a conformation opposite to the natural order where the man and the beast coexist.
The sensibility of the camera has caught the faces of this fauna that have remained printed in the wood of the trunk by force, strolling around for the olive groves during the black nights of the most remote times.
