Vida is a creation that embodies the very essence of life, exploring the constant human drive for progress and our relationship with the natural world. As we pursue our personal desires and needs, we often fail to recognize the consequences of our actions on the environment. This piece reflects on that dynamic, suggesting that while we have made significant advances in technology and automation, we may have lost sight of the importance of caring for the life around us. Vida stands as a powerful reminder of the delicate balance we must maintain between human innovation and nature. The work juxtaposes human ingenuity with the organic world. Its exterior appears entirely natural, seamlessly blending into the environment, almost as if it is a product of nature itself. Yet, beneath the surface, it reveals an intricate network of machinery, hidden within the structure. This duality serves as a metaphor for how our technological advancements—designed to improve our lives and ease our struggles—often come at a cost to the environment. The machine inside symbolizes the growing complexity and pervasiveness of technology in our lives, while the external appearance of the piece reminds us of the beauty and simplicity of nature. Through Vida, I invite the viewer to reflect on the growing divide between our technological progress and our connection to the natural world. The work raises important questions: How far can we push technology before it becomes harmful? Are we sacrificing the well-being of the environment in pursuit of our own convenience? Vida is a thought-provoking piece that urges us to reconsider how we interact with the world around us. It challenges us to rethink our priorities and reminds us of the need for a more mindful approach to progress—one that takes into account the health of the planet and its ecosystems. At its core, Vida calls for a more sustainable way of living.
