Desastre CXCIX

Aires depicts an uncomfortable reality through beautiful and engaging productions, leading the viewer toward a multi-layered understanding of a disturbing and politically incorrect dimension that goes beyond appearance. It gives a semantic twist to the established icons and values ​​by recontextualizing the raw materials already prepared, using fragile but loaded objects (old vinyl records, paper, coins) and pointing out a critical position towards contemporary neoliberal society.
