Currently, its process is guided by two investigations that are conducted in parallel. The first reflects on the mechanisms of representation of reality, the images of flow, and their implications, and the second investigates the landscape and migration processes, using the review of domestic archives, literature, and fieldwork as a resource.
This artwork is a striking exploration of color and geometry, showcasing a dark grid background that serves as a stage for vibrant vertical lines. Arranged in a linear fashion, these lines encompass a full spectrum of colors, including a captivating array of reds, blues, greens, and yellows. The grid itself adds a layer of complexity and order, its intersecting horizontal and vertical lines providing a structured contrast to the organic allure of the vibrant colors. The composition evokes a sense of balance between chaos and control, illustrating the dynamic interaction between the vibrant spectrum and the rigid grid. The art captures the viewer's attention by juxtaposing simplicity and complexity, highlighting the beauty found in symmetry and color harmony. It invites viewers to ponder the relationship between order and creativity, structure and freedom, evoking a sense of intrigue and appreciation for meticulous arrangement.
