Porvenir 

The railroad in Uruguay – as in the whole world – was the engine of progress and modernization. All the train lines in Uruguay converge in Montevideo, a radial system. This work is a fabric in the form of rails, where pieces of fabric with the names of all the train stations in the country are joined by threads in the form of train tracks. This structure hangs from the wall giving a volatile sensation to the whole, contrasting the idea of the weight of the trains, the lightness of the thread to the idea of security, the sensation of instability to the weight of modernity, and the lightness of an uncertain era.
