Starting from the self-portrait, and by appropriating the educational toy "Magic Pin", I consider cross-cutting issues regarding error, incompleteness, uncertainty, unpredictability and instability. I deepen my reflections on game and its interactions aimed at goals and objectives. In this sculpture in progress: a "multicolored, multi-shaped monster" of proportions and size similar to my own presents an analogic mixing, where the act becomes predominant, a task that takes place in stages, on different days along the weeks in which the work is exhibited. With a butane kitchen torch, I weld the 20,000 pins scattered all over the floor in the exhibition space. This work in progress intends to comprise a being that aggregates fragments, fire and color. A discontinuous, faltering being with no polarities, a being liable to collapse.
