The show tries to offer a journey in which the viewer, “almost without realizing it, will go from abstraction to figuration, from geometry to the body, producing along the way a series of intersection nuclei where dialogues are established around issues such as the idea of device, the organic in relation to form and material or identity and popular culture “.
