Boundless

This work consists of grouping replicas of cosmetic product containers, some produced in Europe and others in Asia. After researching beauty standards and concerns on both continents, I found more similarities than differences. The main desire is to reach what we were not born with and rarely refers to health and well-being.

These are objects whose usefulness has been suppressed. They become hermetic and can not contain any more. The idea of dysfunction refers to the eternal promises to erase the passage of time, trying to convince consumers that there is a better future through the physical appearance adapted to the imposed canons before accepting the signs of ageing and dismissing them as imperfections.

Boundless (2024) was produced during a residency program at Shangyu Celadon Modern International Ceramic Center (Shaoxing, China), and became part of the Shangyu Museum Collection.
