In the traditional sense, "Blueprint" is a technical drawing used to precisely communicate the details of an architectural or mechanical design, usually presented with a blue background and white lines. In this exhibition “Blueprint” symbolizes the basic blueprint of life design, just as blueprints define the form and function of a structure in architecture and engineering. The artist uses 23 pairs of chromosomes as letters and words to create a new asemic writing based on the analysis of the rhythm, harmony and silent pauses of classical poetry.
Through the combination of carefully selected, constructed and arranged objects, it weaves a visual grammar that symbolizes the composition and origin of life, the transmission of information and genetic codes describing a new hybrid and unknown life, but closely related to the existence of beings humans. This work explores fundamental questions of identity, legacy, destiny, and life itself. Like the myth of the three goddesses of destiny in Greek mythology, who control fate by weaving the thread of life, in the same way, the artist weaves this "new life" symbolically transcribing the very meaning of his existence. In addition to personally selecting the physical properties of the objects used to compose the genetic makeup of these new entities, a series of symbols linked to the various elements are taken into consideration, such as the material, the dynamics of relationships between the objects themselves, time and space, which will influence conservation and perishability, but also what has already happened and is therefore part of the history of the object. It is a selection work articulated on several levels, from large-scale collection to detailed selection, in search of a compatible couple according to dynamics of contrast or affinity, which, in any case, according to the artist's gaze, respect the intrinsic essential nature of the pair of objects created.
