In the “Escape from the forms”, the concept of propping up no longer relies on its usefulness of reinforcing or securing a structure, but rather plays with the absurdity of maintaining a fiction on the two-dimensional support.
The strange and chaotic forms that escape in an abstraction disorient and intrigue us, concentrating these in a whole that multiplies and expands it but that in turn contracts and nullifies it. In this way, the work tries to transfer us to the reflective plane, questioning us about our own existence and the fragility of memory.
