Jiménez Deredia created 'Chile Proyect - La Ruta De La Paz' as a symbolic representation of peace through geometric form. The stark white sculpture presents a smooth, disc-like surface interrupted by spheres and arches, suggesting a map or architectural model. The title references Chile, a country with a history marked by political upheaval and social division during the 20th century. The sculpture could be interpreted as a visual metaphor for Chile's journey towards reconciliation and unity, particularly after the end of the Pinochet dictatorship. The 'path of peace' might be seen in how the elements move in relation to each other on a shared plane. To understand Deredia's intentions fully, we need to delve into the socio-political context of Chile and the artist's background, and analyze how the formal qualities relate to the concept of peace, and the power of art to evoke social commentary.
