Contemporary world is developed from structures of organization and representation consolidated from a supposed social consensus. Political administrations manage reality from their own ideological profile and try to prevent it from being confused with that of other brands in the political market. Meanwhile, the discredit and distrust of citizens regarding the effectiveness and confidence in the structures of representation and management of collective affairs is growing. The demand for more citizen participation clashes with the stumbling block of the prevailing political model. The structures that a few years ago seemed solid are softened by their own rigidity and do not adapt to the changes and uncertainties of contemporary life.

These subjective reflections lead me to rehearse a sculptural parallelism, where the resulting materials, shapes, and objects bring these relationships into play in an allegorical way. As if they were geometric schematizations of these ideas, these sets of pieces behave as provisional models of thought and seek to capture the double paradox of the contemporary subject: on the one hand the dissolution of its referents and the role that so far it was granted to him and on the other hand, the affirmation of its individual protagonism in the collective destiny of new forms of organization.

The choice of materials contradicts the expectations of their physical qualities: cardboard elements hold other cement elements that are organically curved by their own weight, light paper objects are supported by heavy cement sticks, precarious structural balances are maintained at the right point that evidences the fragility of the set, basic support structures contain elements that are articulated as devices to accommodate light textual references
