With the desire of leaving aside the human figure as a key to transmit emotions, I turn to the winged whale as a totem of my own life to replicate my experiences and desires in a mirror.

The whale with its huge size, is the symbol of my deepest fears and the weight they have on me.

The wings represent my way of dealing these same fears, making them part of imaginary worlds where even the greatest weight can be as light as air.
