Any border is a barrier to reach and understand the other. This serie is about limits on our way through the world and the life itself: physical borders, cultural borders and philosophical borders between one self and the other/s, between cultures and between countries.
It seems that we are allways trying to overstep the borders we create to "protect" ourselves agains other human beings and the natural environment. We can see around us many conflicts going on that affects not only the parts in conflict but also the rest of the humanity, both in an emotional and intelectual level as well as in a material level. It is hard to understand why people is hurting each other, with brutality and sadism. Empathy makes us suffer to see other humans been tortured and killed. In the material level it's hurt to see people destroying important patrimony of our human legacy, which is part of the history of each one of us.
The technic I use in this serie is digital collage based on manipulated pictures selected from the Internet as well as own painting and photographies, and fragments of texts by different authors.
