A work currently exhibited as part of a group exhibition: “Travesia” (17 October 2008 to 4 January 2009) at Centro Atlantico de Arte Moderno S.A. (CAAM) in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain).
Our contemporary modernity has resulted in global human migration. Survival, desire, romance, greed, tragedy are all metaphors that fuel the human imagination. Economic, social and cultural disparities persist and become a persistent theme of contemporary life. These inequalities underpin the human tragedy of many societies that results in the mass migration of human beings seeking better futures for themselves and result in the extreme risks that people tend to take in imagining different destinies for their lives
