Cuarto Norte
Mechanically the piece is copper-wiring set up in such a way to mimic the works of a refrigerator, and it's encasing supports/finalizes this effect. The freezing effect makes the piece look like this in a matter of a few months:
The drastic change is not only part of the intended design for the piece, but it enhances the meaning and the beauty of the piece. While still in it's original form, it looks like a traditional art piece, that although well made, it doesn't seem to have much if any meaning. The warm colors on a neutral face could make it a meaning of the start of life, unsure and expecting of the future, despite however we may take it we're all looking forward to it on the inside. But then as time passes we become jaded, cold, the world around us makes us bitter and strips of our happiness, of our hope. And the piece does an amazing job of showing that in a most literal form, the object freezes through time and as the design becomes enhanced and more detailed, showing how one's journey through life is always going to define us, it doesn't change that we're all changed into a more stiff, colder form thanks to our surroundings.
