DIRT, POTATOES, GRASS AND SAND

COLCHON / MATTRESS
Dirt, nylon stockings.

Stockings filled with dirt, and then packed in the size and shape of a mattress, with individual pieces which somehow resemble bodies or body parts. It reminds me of the story of the princess and the pea. As a Colombian, I wonder how can we sleep over so many deaths

UNTITLED / SIN TITULO
Dirt, germinated grass, nylon stockings

CAJA DE TIERRA Y PAPAS / DIRT BOX WITH POTATOES
Soil, germinated potatoes and glue

CON PIES Y MANOS / WITH FEET AND HANDS
Soil, glue and nylon stockings

BOLAS DE ARENA / SAND BALLS
Sand, glue and wood.
