'Falla' deals with geological time - the sedimentary layers built over millions of years. This interest in the 'deep time' of our earth, relates to the chaos of what happens above it. Ortega notes a feeling of a city as unfinished as a primary theme for this work in that lots of places are in permanent construction, in constant transformation. Many places and things are almost raw in their own state of existence, like private ecosystems or self-referential systems. Ortega explains further that "There is a fertile ground for me in this, but I don't intend to transform everything. Rather my interest lies in the potential of regeneration, invention or re-invention. Then I realized that the work was not necessarily a funeral, and could instead be a kind of ritual of regeneration. It was akin to sowing to cultivate the land and we put a seed in the ground as a symbol. With this in mind, I felt much better.....The sequence of layers in my work is related to this idea, in some ways, I am trying to build a stone instead of a sculpture. There are hundreds of instances and different moments one after another, that are accumulated as structures of time. At the end, we can only see the surface and the facade. They are just a pile of moment one on top of the other. Each of these moments has value and a reason, none is more important than the other".
