Limits (Series)
DESCRIPTION
“At every limit I was, pushing myself to the edge I could reach, and right at the bottom of every crag, I found the only person looking was myself!”
Limits is a series that alludes to emotional limits. It is an exercise in self-analysis through self-portraits with a mirror effect, which aims to make the viewer see himself by showing these protective lines that define where we end and where others begin. The pieces show "borderlines" where a single character is found, referring to self-concept, our intimacy, the limit, the importance of our self-esteem, identity, and personal space.
