At the present time, mass media conditions in a decisive way to what we understand as personal experiences; the majority of virtual and media phenomenon which shapes the individual, acts in a better conclusive way than real domestic events.
We are at a point, where we assume all the images that surround our lives, as something completely normal, that we must accept without any doubts. The entertainment industry discourse revolves around the evidence of a universe riddle of uncertain realities upheld by the scene show. These media images which are saturated in grandeur correspond to a cliché that the social collective recognizes in an instant.
The underlying significance, contained in those risky, violent or pathetic images, presented in an overflowing beauty and glamorous way, admit the emptiness of those labeled behaviors. In this series of works, called ¨Radiant Edges¨ (Bordes Resplandecientes), the artist starts using a computer technique for the outline of the projects and then works are finished using a domestic resource: the embroidery technique.
Rather than taking a pompous stance of imposing value judgments to sweeten society, this series focuses on profiles which captivate and trap our retinas with the intensity of color, an efficient and persuasive strategy used by the T.V media industry. The radiant edges of dense chromaticism and extravagance, act as a weapon which threatens the audience in the absence of its own content.
