Simulant les ones, The eyes of the sea, com un portal dimensional, evoca el viatge migratori africà i l’esperança. Amb un element sorpresa, la vida de Keita, Mister International Tarragona 2020, pren protagonisme, i els seus ulls ens captiven. Blau. Mar. Supervivència. Una història. Una experiència. Els ulls que són el mar i el mar que és el viatge. Desconstrucció intencionada de l’obra de Géricault, El rai de la Medusa (1818-19), la instal·lació també critica, mitjançant l’onomatopeia, l’odi al discurs polític.

Simulating the waves, The eyes of the sea, like a dimensional portal, evokes the african migration journey and the hope. With a surprise element, the life of Keita, Mister International Tarragona 2020, takes center stage, and his eyes captivate us. Blue. Sea. Survival. A story. An experience. The eyes that are the sea and the sea that is the journey. Intentional deconstruction of Géricault’s work, The Raft of the Medusa (1818-19), the installation also criticizes, through an onomatopoeia, the hate in political speech.
