Carmen No. 4 Sculpture

I am building a door for you, a portal or a black hole, call it whatever you want. We can all agree on something, agree that we all wanted to go someplace, somewhere, anywhere just outside the confinement of our own homes. Me, I wanted to visit my loved ones back home in the Philippines to make sure that they are okay and safe. I created these portals not just to visit home but also to visit the future. To have coffee with the future version of me and to ask him questions like if the path I'm taking right now is the right path. I'm sure he knows the answer. And to visit the younger version of me and pinch him in the ears and tell him to stop overthinking. My Carmen series is inspired by portals, doors going to somewhere? Where is it going? I don't know where. Don't we all want to go somewhere? Maybe in your past, in your future, you're free to choose. Just close your eyes take a deep breath, and hop in on the portal. About The Artist Racso J. (Racso Jugarap) A self-taught artist from the Philippines who has always been fascinated with creations. Growing up to be the youngest son of a jewelry crafter, Racso had already been exposed and seen playing with the tools in his father’s workshop, creating toys, or making a very intricate school project. Later on, while studying Hospitality Management, he had already been commissioned to do pieces for hotels and business establishments. He was given an opportunity to travel around the world working as a chef and to see the beauty, energy, and culture the world has to offer. Now living in Belgium and having to experience firsthand how art has been part of most of the people's lives, this inspired him to share his art to the public that has been kept hidden for so long. Curves have been always an element in his works. For him, curve shapes express fluid movement and it could be dynamic. It depends on how much the curve is in the object, the less curve the calmer.
