The Zipper Series
A zipper is commonly a popular gadget that joins two sides of fabric, leather and numerous other materials. It’s utilized in the fashion industry, accessories and many other everyday items. Zippers increase or decrease the size of an opening to allow or restrict the access of objects, join or separate two ends, attach or detach separable parts, and connect / disconnect things.
Personally, I see zippers as very intriguing devices. They produce in me a sense of wonder and discovery. The images from the Zipper Collection come up to my mind unexpectedly and enigmatically. They seem to be translating my point of view about the stages in life, the daring to quietly observe what it is and what it could be. The audacity needed to be closing or opening new situations. They provoke in me the ability to examine how the parts are sustained when they are together or recognize when they need to be taken apart. I figuratively associate them with the present and future of our civilization current matters.
