A series of assemblages made from domestic objects, ordinary material, cloths, differentelements displaced from their conventional use. Abstract compositions which have their meanings introduced by their titles. They seek to negotiate in these rough days a dialoguebetween the horror presented by the news and the wish to find joy in brief comments ofeveryday live.

Dear Good Citizens,

We agree that from now on nobody sleeps peacefully and even our dreams, if any, will be turbulent and dark.
We guarantee for ourselves the greatest commitment to hope, this great traitor, since we have the hunger for the desert beasts and our time will always be now, now and now.
In these uneasy days, desire and irreverence will be our main combat strategies, and with our big mouths we’ll spit out blades and wet kisses to anyone. Still on desire, we gonna excavate the most exuberant manifestations of life, and joy, however silly, will emerge as heroine from where least expected.
We know that dying is easy, but we have no rush. Also we don’t have whereto fall dead because tiredness is a luxury we can’t afford. We will surely fallalong the way, but in each fall we gonna cause trouble and mess, stainingthe traffic and ordinary life with our blood. Despite all fears, our dreams grow in proportion to our will to fight and love. Our bed always welcomes onemore else.
