JUGAAD CONMIGO
Jugaad Conmigo - unique pieces
The MATERIALITY, the TECHNIQUE and the FORM of the offered object evidenced in pre-hispanic times the cultural identity, the ritual purpose and the social status of the offeror. In the same way these pieces, show the social configuration, the spiritual preoccupation and the postcolonial reality of societies precipitated abruptly from the prehispanic world to the modernity.
Despite scarcity, the creativity (jugaad) required for survival in an "underdeveloped" world, innovates and transforms into "beauty" the abundant -plastic and metal waste; rethinking the scale of what is valuable and situating styrofoam as "blood" (of the earth), and metal filings as "gold".
