Diego Perez
My utility box was inspired by the experience of Zeke, a Chicano kid who perceives his life through the urban space, sport, music, and fauna. My intention was to depict the cultural cosmogony of the transnational citizen. The zarape or jorongo wraps the utility box as a symbol of protection and security. But it is also used for a good picnic, therefore, the corn and the beautiful surroundings of the flora and fauna. An urban space where diversity can be possible.
