This artwork is about paths that are transforming themselves and also our lives. In it, you can see the dangers to the planet and to humanity that our way of life creates. We must change our paths directed toward performance to a more human one.

This artwork is part of the Scattered Trajectories project which is a reflection and a critical review on performance in the North American culture. In this project, I want to confront the notion of a linear path, which to many people equals success, and propose a different way to view our life. Life is not a linear succession but a series of accidents, oppositions, chance encounters and sudden events. The paintings in this project are paired - with one painting showing some geometrical abstraction and the other showing only lyrical abstraction. In each painting, you will find references to trajectories, paths and life events.
