Artwork Description

Two pieces of wood that affect an architectural space within a world saturated with conventionalisms become a refuge for insects as repudiated as cockroaches—an ancient plague stigmatized by hygienic rejection that turns them into protagonists. There is something of Kafka, something of his work Metamorphosis... This paradox invites reflection on the stigmatized and the beautiful, the rejected and the vital, in a plastic language that combines technical rigor with deep symbolic weight.
