Animalize the human - Humanize the animal
Animal behavior reflects the dynamics of the inhabited environment,
when analyzing this in the animals that accompany us,
we obtain a reflection that indicates the dynamics and conditions
in which communities live in their micro universes.
Arriving at a place foreign to one's daily life provides signs of how its inhabitants behave;
happy, healthy and friendly dogs, such as those that are malnourished, scared, aggressive and even with flies,
allows us to see the quality of life, the cultural heritage and even the harmfulness to which its residents are exposed.
Faced with the subject, I am interested in breaking into the animal image and the potential of its gaze,
searching the viewer a recognition in it and in it that we hide, that at the same time,
your observation is dehumanized, to activate and connect with empathy originated in the animal sense itself,
that we often irrationally deny.
In practice, I have contemplated the change that exists between
people in front of a portrait and the person portrayed,
when capturing a rejected animal, whatever its condition, people experience a change in perception
of the chosen animal, managing to touch powerful fibers that have potentiated
the relationship of dual and individual well-being.
If we pay attention, there are values in the animal organization,
that if adapted by humans, would offer benefits to our environment.
