Humano Jarra is a series of 12 sculptures that function like metal puppets where its parts can be played, and the shadows it creates accentuate the dramaturgy of these metamorphic bodies between a human and a jar.

This series is part of a project that the artist comes developing from Croma, a jar that holds countless comic-tragic narrative possibilities. Croma is a container of narratives that unfold in plans and passages. Alluding to the personification of an object, which is fit for constant camouflage, we know that we are facing an image that lives in an encrypted way - that gives body and voice to phonetic games and shows subversive dichotomies. ”Humano-jarra" occupied the space, like bodies in frozen movements, assuming a performative experience for the viewer.
