Dos rosas por la paz

We could say that it is a great collective work, like the ones I like to undertake. A space for reflection on our past and a look of light on our future. Dos Rosas proposes a meeting path; And although I was inspired by a story that happened in the Malvinas, with this work I want to be an instrument to promote peace throughout the world. I would like these two roses to be forever the symbol of the agreement between two, of the union between two. The basis of any agreement begins with a union between parties.

With war material from the 1982 war and the conflict between the Argentines and the British, and together with all those who come to participate, we are making two metal roses, whose final objective is to take them as an offering to those who fell in combat they rest in the cemeteries of the South Atlantic Islands. The relative of a fallen Argentine will bring one of the roses to the fallen British and in turn, the relative of a fallen British will bring the other offering to the fallen Argentines.
