This compelling mixed media paper collage showcases the brilliant structural intuition and raw intellectual depth of contemporary artist Ivan Castiblanco within his highly celebrated From the series aprender a caminar y salir del pozo gravitacional collection. The core visual balance coordinates black ink portrait drawings of four historic young girls with piercing gazes, one holding a stylized white goose bird, layered seamlessly against a backdrop field of gridded book sheets. The lower edge features a prominent physical element: an open vintage red and white checkered Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, successfully handling the intricate game of cultural identity and relationship patterns.

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.
