The work is part of a series that I call ‘Blind self-portrait’, that I make collecting all kind of papers from
everyday life, like napkins, envelopes, images and articles from newspapers and magazines, receipts,
bus, subway, train, tram and plane tickets, post-its, business cards, drawings, letters, postcards,
vouchers, invoices, recipes, etc. It is a group of pieces of painted paper that describes my everyday
activity. Obviously, I like the idea of transforming information into objects, first. Then using paint as a
solution that appeals to possible ‘meanings’ constructed by viewers. Modular arrangement is important
in terms of ‘representing’ chaotic patterns of growing, as in non-planned urban landscapes and cities.
These grids are to be read as accumulative and random organizations. It is a sort of a super honest
diary in which viewers have to ‘believe’ the accumulation of experience behind.
