Portfolio Excerpt:
Perro Mundo Is a portfolio focused on transborder themes covering the extreme conditions produced by neoliberalism and the social responses that resist said conditions. A social and environmental context is the foundation for images of transformation and social rebellion. These are not Ovidian Transformations actualized by the gods or the mysterious occult forces of nature. Instead metamorphosis implies an otherness occasioned by historical and material events, although, as in Ovid, they are constructed with mythical agents. Although visualized with mythical aspects of the characters are concrete symbols that identify specific social struggles.
