Protect Me
Expo Galería Iguapop, Barcelona

del 9 de agosto al 13 de septiembre 2008

Development, and in general, human unwraps in consecutives stages which have very special characteristics. ­Protect me, is based on childhood, as the phase of intuitive thought and imagination (4- 7 years old) and an egocentric attitude. It is a period of time, in which fantasy and game make up the majority of their lives. It is a time of tails, fables and legends.

Through impassioned fantasy and game the child brings objects to life and creates a unique psychological world. Children are free containers but, they are not able to make decision on their own education.

Childhood is a delicate and vulnerable stage.  One in which the child is molded and transformed by the world of adults in his or her surroundings.

In “Protect Me”, clothes have been created, based on pieces of primary circles that stick all together through automatic buttons.  In conclusion, the whole attire is made by the union of different pieces of cloth. Oilcloth and felt are the materials that have been used, to refer to the main issue of the project: protection.

The combination of the color white with saturated pinks and reds dominates the collection and brings up the idea of purity and clarity. In relation to graphics, the technique was oil and pencil on wood.

The use of figures shows different relationship between cartoon and fictional characters. The title of each piece makes reference to common sentences used by children.

In the background we can appreciate a diversity of nearly transparent patterns; each placed one on top of the other. This creates a confused environment, one which drives us to a world between order and chaos, and ultimately essence of who we are and our appearance in the world.
