"Geometría Urbana 4" part of a serie wallobjects, is an exploration of the layers hidden within an urban environment. This wall object combines the idea of maps and labyrinths with visible and invisible structures—from underground networks like sewer systems to above-ground connections that hold cities together

Echoes of Memories resonates with subtle movement, as though each mark or texture holds a whisper of a story. Organic forms harmonize with the raw simplicity of its materials, capturing the impermanence of moments long past. Intertwined fingerprints flow through the textures, evoking the lingering echoes of moments etched into time. They reveal the fragility and permanence of memory, much like footprints left in sand—delicate yet enduring, inviting the viewer to explore the intimate interplay between touch, time, and remembrance.

By juxtaposing organic textures and abstract forms, this wall piece acts as a collection of mental relics, mapping uncharted territories of the subconscious. It embodies the layers of personal history and the mystery of untold stories.

With this piece, I aimed to depict the fragile interplay between truth and deception. The eyes, carved as though trapped within the wooden grid, are both watchful and vulnerable, raising the question: do they observe, or are they being observed? The gold accents evoke something precious yet ephemeral, a façade concealing deeper uncertainties. The raw texture of the wood anchors the work, contrasting with the illusion of the gleaming gilded details. Is it a reflection on trust and perception or a visual meditation on the space between reality and imagination?

This textile artwork, inspired by the concept of "Vulve Multicolori," explores themes of diversity, femininity, and the allure of hidden connections. Vibrant shapes and intricate textures evoke a sense of organic growth, symbolizing both individual uniqueness and unity. Each color and form acts as a visual anchor, guiding viewers through an abstract journey filled with temptation and curiosity.
