ascesis

 

Artist Statement

In Ascesis the artist seeks to delve into the individual’s search for self-realization.
In this triptych, the author notices how life in this society turns towards a continuous occurrence of daily issues and then emerges from said situation. The latter is observed in ¨Play it¨ where the individual takes enough courage to be the same outside of the mass. 
Finally, in ¨Soaring Flight¨, a desire for transcendence is already glimpsed, a bridge to the afterlife symbolized in paragliders that in effigy allow individuals to leave the earthly to enter the heavenly.
