About the Tolerance Collection_
A study of human bodies, under the theme of tolerance for the environment in which we live, for the people who inhabit it and for our representations of love.
“In the Topographies collection (2016), I talked about what the natural environment transmits to me. In the Tolerance collection I pass this voice on to human beings, seeking to exemplify observations of our upbringing as Costa Ricans on issues of gender, machismo and sexual diversity to which it seems important to call attention. Just as the mountains ask to be respected, many people also do it continuously in the fight for equality. ”
The first work in the collection is titled “Ningüentxs” and consists of the reinterpretation of the typical figure of the Costa Rican Ningüenta. “To me, it represents innocence, sweetness and good omen, attributes that every baby has, both boys and girls. That is why I created a neutral version, to remember that the essence of things is more important than physical appearance. "
Based on this concept, works were generated that deal with the issues of people's self-representation, about their physical, sexual and emotional identity. Some of the main pieces of the collection are "I don't want long hair", "Men don't cry" and "Playing with dolls", made up of 44 layers of paper. These works focus on the theme of how in our upbringing as Costa Ricans ideas have been imposed on us that ultimately attack our freedom as unique and independent beings. Not all girls want long hair, men can cry too, and all boys are free to play with whatever they want, including pushchairs and dolls.
This collection is made up of artworks that use only the colors blue, pink and yellow, which are the most used to represent the masculine, feminine or neutral gender.
