Behind every window there is hope Sculpture

Based on a personal anecdote, this sculpture shows some of my personal documents trapped inside bullet proof glass. This ‘window’ looks like a wheeled luggage bag and contains other elements including two small feet walking and marking time in the same place over a metal case with a light inside, creating a continuous, rhythmic noise. Light is a symbolic element in religious works, often representative of "hope" or "transfer”.Behind the window there is a painting of a queue of immigrants going up and going down on a transparent band; they look like they are going to Heaven and returning to Hell in a continuing circle. On the sides of the window are two wheels with quotes from two writers of different nationalities. I refer the quotes to the concept of migration. I remember many things from when my parents, my brother and I arrived at the American Embassy in Bogota - after a long trip from my hometown: I remember we were in an enormous queue of people at 5:30am; I remember we checked our paperwork one by one many times; I remember we were preparing a lot of answers for the many different questions; I remember hoping we would get the visa; I remember praying; I remember being scared in front of a massive and compact bullet proof window.
