carrera (pit)
Through children’s toy racetracks that evoke the innocence of childhood, the work creates a metaphor for predetermined paths and learned rhythms of life. The oval frame, built from assembled toy tracks, suggests
a closed circuit—repetition, control, and invisible boundaries shaping movement.
At the center, a red-tinted landscape of hills, buildings, and a dramatic sky appears partially eclipsed, as if filtered through warning or contamination. This framed view alludes to territories marked and transformed by transnational oil industries, where economic forces shape both geography and ways of living.
What seems playful becomes critical: the toy tracks symbolize systems of production and consumption, while the marked stops define imposed routes. The piece contrasts innocence and power, inviting reflection on how much of our lives follow paths already designed by larger global structures.
