This artwork features a side profile of an electric guitar, beautifully juxtaposed against a vibrant blue sky with scattered clouds. The guitar's sleek silhouette is striking, capturing its elongated neck and streamlined body. The angle offers a unique perspective, emphasizing the guitar’s minimalistic allure against the vast expanse of the sky. The contrast between the dark instrument and the soft, airy clouds creates a dynamic visual tension, inviting contemplation of music's transcendent qualities. This intriguing composition merges the tangible with the ethereal, suggesting a sense of freedom and creative possibility. The simplicity in the scene allows the viewer to focus on the artistic interplay between the object and its natural backdrop, highlighting the guitar not only as a musical tool but as a symbol of artistic expression.

Photography helps Kevin Krag to freeze in time he's one of a kind sculptures capturing the spiritual dimension, the vulnerability and mortality of his ephemeral pieces. Using ethically sourced archival photography cotton paper integrating another organic and sensual piece to the puzzle, standing the test of time and having the least possible adverse impact on the environment. Assembled guitars bodies & necks from rescued guitars (built by the artist). Creating the Ícara I was like an initiation. the work contains about 800 feathers and it has a very rock and roll feel as it reminds us of Lenny Kravitz’s love for feathers and boas. It also explores a rite of passage: leaving Buenos Aires, its music, its flavors and ultimately a remembrance, an homage to a dear Argentine singer-songwriter Gustavo Cerati, whose song “Tu cicatriz en mí” brings him back to Buenos Aires.
