'Wait'. Beads and sequins on military suit, table, chair, light and sewing kit.
This work was conceived thinking of a soldier who, in a dark room, embroiders with beads and sequins a suit which he used or will use in the trenches of war. Precisely, sewing with such brilliant objects is the opposite idea of the reason to be of the original colors of the uniform...camouflage. The action can also be read as the restoration with tinsel of the damage that he has suffered. The act reflects on how someone can get prepared for something that doesn’t know, as well as the nudity of the soldier (his back to the entrance) makes his vulnerability evident and invades the intimacy of the spectator who is wearing clothes.
