"Ferrous Existence; All of them have in common the usage of metal and similar materials which have an inherent notion of time that establish a relation with the eternal with something so strong and intricate that is invincible, the machine that will suppress the human aspect, the essential. Guns, manufacture, sublimation, distillation systems, hot iron or the so-called “carimbo” (which was used to “brand” slaves), old sugar refineries structures and machineries that are no more than structures of frustration and social decay one of the darkest representation of human brutality to the date.
And is on these facts that the works develops itself, the machine is not invincible, time is."
