Nip Tuck- a life time de silencencio 2010

I used different medium and actually hand stitched  one canvas to another so i would pop out.

inspiration /story behind this

So we as women are our worst critics. When it comes to our career, our friends, our passions and even the most amazing gifts God has given us … our bodies. We put ourselves on unnecessary peddle stools that are at times unrealistic and simply unattainable.  Rather than working on what really matter which is our inner beauty we focus on our shells.  We women have this mechanism in us which I like to call. “Let’s fix the world”. Even when we meet men… We take them in love them “”disque”" unconditionally and then change everything about them to only complain. Rather than adapting and compromising so we can live in harmony. It’s the same concept with our bodies. . This shows the superficial imperfections.  I have left her scarred and did the stitching for the so called “trouble spots”. Which most importantly was over her mouth. I stitched its tight, because at the moment we start to nip and tuck… this and that, we silence what makes us unique our inner bellesa’ and in essence our creator…

The Tower of Babel Installation:

The Tower of Babel is a group art installation by inter-disciplinary artists ChangoBi, Chris Yemaya, Nia Andino, Ana Martell and David Quinones.

History of the Tower of Babel: The Tower of Babel according to the Book of Genesis, was an enormous tower built at the city of Babylon. According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, participated in the building. The people decided their city should have a tower so immense that it would have “its top in the heavens.”However, the Tower of Babel was not built for the worship and praise of God, but was instead dedicated to the glory of man, to “make a name” for the builders: “Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.’” (Genesis 11:4). The Book of Genesis then relates how God, displeased with the builders’ intent, came down and confused their languages and scattered the people throughout the earth.

In the art installation the Tower will be made up of individual self-portrait cube pieces made by each artist that will be combined and stacked to form a tower representing each persons spiritual journey. It will be symbolic of a united collective reaching for a symbolic “heaven”. Yet like in the historical Tower of Babel through the self portrait pieces each artist will demonstrate their own internal struggle with understanding the divine.
