Entry Description: FLOWERS are images of debris (size 6x6) takes during the recycling process. At a given moment in this process -but not decisive moment in the Bresson sense- the matter imploded takes on a new form, the scraps turn into flowers, overturning the rules perspective in a game of kaleidoscopic
duplication. The negative is played and reversed (metaphor
disappearance of the original in the digital age) until confuse the subject with a monster that embodies multiforme infinite emotional representations, one for each spectator.
