‘It seems as if the artist has torn these walls from their natural context to bring them to the exhibition hall. One of them makes us think of the enclosure of the property, but the aggressiveness of its broken crystals that crown it also speaks of the obsession for security in general. In particular, it also reminds us of all those young people in Africa who are trying today to cross the impregnable borders of Europe. The other wall seems to act as its underside, because it is full of inconsequential graffiti, slogans and underground written with firelighters from the conditional freedom that allows night and fun, club music, alcohol and drugs. A uninhibited and hedonistic anarchy, insubstantial and unbridled that will go away as soon as the day is clear or the weekend is over. ‘
