My collaboration with RA is the creation of a metaphoric altar composed by a carpet and a sculpture in relief. The whole is inspired by Inca Art, where I have transformed their daily life using cultural references of our time. Animals and beasts melt into science. Drawings of Inca microchips climb up the antennas finishing in electricity icon engravings decorated as the god of the sun. Escher-esque bird/planes embellish the wings. In addition, I incorporated a message where superficiality and consumerism make us loose our relationship with Nature.
