Exhibition text by José Segebre

The exhibited works are the culmination of a year-long series of encounters and discussions between the three of us, exploring themes related to Latin American art in various cultural and contextual settings. The works I contributed were created using a diverse collection of leftover materials, primarily cardboard packaging that had been gathered over time from personal items provided by close friends, family, and work environments. These containers serve as a kind of personal diary, revealing routines through the products consumed.
