"War report" is inspired by the military medallions. It was created using the colors of the ribbons of each medal that conceptually construct these compositions. For me, the ostentation of these merits have been losing meaning, considering that the acts that have led to their obtaining are linked to war, violence, genocide and death most of the times. Therefore, I completely subvert its meaning by comparing it to a purely decorative accessory, that by flaunting itself, reinforces the loss of any real value.
This colorful embroidery with predominant pinks, greens and bright yellows are the representation of a completely redesigned military medallion, where there is no real decoration, and it is simply a random arrangement of colors, thus losing its total function of ostentation to remain a mere decorative element.
