ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A flag is, in principle, a cloth sewn and/or painted in colors that usually represent a human group. This cloth generally designates a rectangle that can be treated as a painting. However, the formality of the flag is affected by the history, culture, economy, and human facts that are cultivated around the colors and allegorical shapes that the rectangle contains in its interior. The artwork's hypothesis revolves around the indeterminacy of the flag as a symbol of collective identity in a standardized world. It aims to reveal how altering a flag through political acts, driven by the pursuit of unique representations, becomes a figuratively sterile event overshadowed by globalization. Actions such as creating, intervening, violating, writing, or painting a flag serve as identity experiments for urban citizens. These experiments contribute to forming generic ways of inhabiting the planet, yet they also lead to a less egalitarian society.

In my study art work I have specialized in weaving the urban history area with the plastic arts.
