Do I Stand a Chance?
The sculpture presents a human figure emerging from a pile of material while staring at its highly technological device. It is part of a series called “Exist Tense”.
This human figure has features of pre Hispanic American gods from cultures such as the Mayan and Aztec, chosen for their relation with the cosmos and how integrated and evident this awareness of the universe was.
The series approaches the constant denial of reality translated as Human arrogance. The aim is to state how the web has become the last destination in which it is acceptable to spend our existence, even more so, it is the perfect environment for having access to reality while also escaping it.
The sculptures represents us, God like figures unaware of their potential, wasting their existence on a virtual space, covered by their accumulating and growing mess.
We exist on top of a diseased, polluted, overpopulated world and still demand the changes to come from somewhere else because we are multitasking over the internet. In lack of this self awareness the collective self is now scattered, fragmented and inefficient.
