This intriguing artwork captures a visually arresting scene against a vibrant pink backdrop. The central figure, wearing a light blue robe, contorts into a dynamic pose, embodying both tension and fluidity. Their head is obscured, adding a layer of anonymity and curiosity. The figure's elongated limbs make contact with a translucent container filled with water, creating ripples—symbolizing disturbance or transformation. A playful, plastic pink elephant on wheels interacts with the scene, introducing a whimsical yet discordant element. The strangeness of the scene is heightened by the artist's use of elastic fabric, stretching across the composition, binding elements in an unnaturally harmonious manner. This piece challenges conventional boundaries, merging human form with playful childhood symbolism, evoking a blend of introspection and surrealism. Its striking colors and compositions compel the viewer to explore themes of identity, conflict, and the passage of time.

 "La Piedra Sustituta" Series Showing a body that is hidden is the aesthetic apology for the insane judgment that the artist himself has taken as an excuse for not being "pointed at" or rather as self-pointing. The stone is taken by the body that is unprotected as a metaphor for the weakness that seeks protection, and the body is taken by the stone as a consequence of an insecure state, how can a stone take a body? If this is the one that "institutionally" does it.
