"The constant gaze on the context in which we move, acts as a projection of new signs necessary for those who always live away from passivity; That is why I refer to the active encounter with a city that breathes visual contradictions. Contrast that goes from the exquisite sculptural pieces in metal of Negret, to the interesting and fleeting expressions of the anonymous graffiti. A city of big formats in which concrete acts like a base and also provides texture. There, in the space of the big city where its giant informal galleries let us see the strong passage of time; I want to problematize the ephemeral and the format of the graffiti but also its immobility, which leads me to the idea of developing an extract of a portable city, a materialization of my ideas that remain as an anchor of identity in who exhibit this piece. For this I have decided to create a piece from elements such as silver, copper, concrete and pigments, that allows me to reinterpret the urban context."
