This artwork is a thought-provoking blend of collage and mixed media, showcasing a seamless fusion of past and present. The composition features two enigmatic figures rendered with meticulous detail, set against a textured backdrop of vintage pages and muted tones. The inclusion of an antique book cover, prominently displayed, serves as a focal point, cleverly juxtaposing traditional and modern elements. The delicate interplay of light and shadow adds depth, creating a sense of mystery and allure. The piece's unique structure, with its grid-like arrangement and varied materials, invites viewers to explore the layers and narratives within. Through its unique juxtaposition and intricate design, the artwork challenges perceptions of time and history, urging contemplation and engagement.

An everyday situation, from our memory, from the memory of childhood in a non-place, that is to say, an enigmatic ephemeral place, a space that is delimited and that grows, that multiplies throughout the world; They are linked to anonymity and independence because they apparently do not exist or mean anything, at least to those people who visit them provisionally; However, using objects that demarcate an unreal space, which is part of fantasy and often goes unnoticed, neither places nor non-places always exist in pure form, they are steps of the same ladder, parallel lines that magically reach intersect, they are opponents who attract and penetrate each other. The pattern plays the role of endlessly rewriting the intricate game of identity and relationship, the mix of cultures, and the rush of its visitors learning to walk and getting out of the gravitational well.
