The work with the intangible, the emotional, the allusion to memory, identity and the use of threads as a physical vehicle of these interior places are main elements of this work, which he created in one day with white wool and adhesive that facilitates the removal of the threads, symbols of anxiety, pain, time and identity.

The intricate paths of temporal layers around a piano, apparently subtle and static but tense and full of emotional information, are presented in temporal strata of an energetic network that is woven in synchronous movement inside and outside the organism.

This network of threads, paths of information, memory and emotions, stretched until a balance is achieved between both sides, has the bench as a visual axis that functions as a corpus callosum that connects both hemispheres with the viewer and where a space opens that invites to sit down, but it is impossible. The piano, with the lid open and a free space to approach it, challenges the viewer who, if he wants to make it play, will have to cross the spider's web, but will not be able to sit down without tearing out the threads.

The piano, which had historically been part of the living room of bourgeois families, was a fetish element or objet trouvé for movements like Fluxus, which used it in an unconventional way, thus expressing the conflict or rejection of the traditional both on a social and musical level.

In the case of this work, I believe that the emotional intensity seen through threads like vines of time has helped me to verify the “between” where I find myself. The spider web invites me to wait by its side while time weaves in me a repaired reality that opens new paths of possibilities.
