These works depicts a scene that, in Venezuela, would bring moments of positivity during a time marked by extreme violence and suffering. Through research using recent photographs of Caracas, I observed a sad and hopeless atmosphere, as many streets and buildings show deterioration due to a lack of maintenance and basic care. I chose to contrast these dark, decaying structures with vibrant, colorful birds, creating a sense of hope and emotional uplift while surrounded by despair and darkness.
