Artwork title : what i want you to see

This series that talks about what is behind each one, what we show and how we present ourselves in public, on social networks, in photos, against what we are really living. It talks about the battles that each person has but he doesn’t talk about them, EVERYONE is living some sort of battle in silence, it can be from something simple to something big, but nobody mentions it, we show our best face, we always pretend that everything is fine. This series represents this, the balloons speak of the lightness and joy with which we present ourselves in public, what we want to appear. Space and bare skin speak of this vulnerability and silent battle that everyone is going through. The plastic-lined man speaks of this skin that is invisible to others but that perhaps is suffocating us. We all have that skin, we all have something that is suffocating us, but as always we only show the balloons.

It is difficult to put it into words, let the images speak for themselves.
