"Structural" is a series of five photographic prints on brushed dibond aluminum of 3 mm each containing representations of strange buildings that are nonetheless familiar to us.
When modernity arrived in the city of Guayaquil, steel and cement replaced those vernacular buildings of the picturesque city. For "Structural" I perform an architectural analogy exercise, taking a picture of the corners of some modern buildings in the city and then doing a kind of digital collage recreating new structures. So that the alienating spirit of these buildings is preserved before the uncertainty of what is being seen in the work.
