The Submerged
I rescue this class of forgotten people, weakened by the system, separated families, lost or abandoned children, and hardships of life in the symbolism of belonging, volatility, and ephemerality. Expressing annoyances, and privations in a ruthlessness forced by their condition.
My artistic process was to show the resilience of these children through symbols that signify hope and rescue from a lost childhood. I explore the symbolic universe of the child, the territory of playing as art, as growth, as communication, as exchange, as development, as culture, as history, as its own and shared language. Flowers symbolize the inconstancy and ephemerality of life, youth, energy, new life, and victory over death. The objects conceptualize the rhythm, the brand, and the identity of each one in the world.
