Recycled junk food wrappers and resin on canvas.

“Using the wrappers of junk-food products as raw material, I point towards a political reflection, by tightly joining the critical and social senses. The result: pieces rich in texture, whose colour palette comes from the plastic discards of poor nourishment; individual consequences of globalization and without doubt one of the scourges of the 21st Century. Within my vision, in the global scenario there arises a future that points to the uneven conditions between health and the mass-production corporations, were social innovation and the benessere seem to be based on a cosmopolitan focus in the big-city, which, despite having a higher civilizing-technological development, continues to suffer such basic deadweights as housing, health, and human rights.”
