Inspired by the deep conceptual exploration of ephemeral non-places and provisional anonymous steps where boundaries blur, the narrative tracks an intense graphic rhythm where the sinuous lines of a cross-hatched ink portrait are subversively overlaid with an old geography textbook displaying an architectural global map motif. By endlessly rewriting the intricate game of cultural mixing and the rush of visitors learning to escape gravitational loops, this calculated layout transforms an educational relic into an undeniable structural gravity free from temporary decorative artifice.

An everyday situation, from our memory, from the memory of childhood in a non-place, that is to say, an enigmatic ephemeral place, a space that is delimited and that grows, that multiplies throughout the world; They are linked to anonymity and independence because they apparently do not exist or mean anything, at least to those people who visit them provisionally; However, using objects that demarcate an unreal space, which is part of fantasy and often goes unnoticed, neither places nor non-places always exist in pure form, they are steps of the same ladder, parallel lines that magically reach intersect, they are opponents who attract and penetrate each other. The pattern plays the role of endlessly rewriting the intricate game of identity and relationship, the mix of cultures, and the rush of its visitors learning to walk and getting out of the gravitational well.
