Poética everyday objects
The theme of the work is inspired by objects from everyday Mexican culture environment.
Sculptress by volcanic stone carving (exhibition), integrates all the top of the sewers of the city of Mexico, leading to a new object without functionality or imagines impossible. Objects descontextualizados, modified in their shape, size or material.
The exhibition presents a "Seal" and two "Transformations".
In "Seal" merge the old pre-Hispanic world and the contemporary city. This universal form of writing, evoking, without words, a record of the ephemeral.
For its part, the "Urban Transformations" refer to the metamorphosis of the gutter. Its volume increases, charging life and autonomy. A symbolic home for the thousands of street children who live inside drains Mexico City.
This personal interpretation of objects refers to an imaginary self that moves to another reality, in which the everyday becomes poetic.
