Blob

“Blob”, 2017/18. Ceramic intervention.
Porto, Portugal.

Blob is an artistic intervention in the public space. It pretends to be a praise to the urban ruin, showing the transformation of buildings and walls in the city context.
Blob is a sort of “new skin” that creates a strong contrast between the past and the new present where the industrialization and a severe denaturation creates an excessive urban growth. With the utilization of a noble material, as ceramic, with strong colors and precious glass cover, the principal aim is to valorize the ruin, leaving a space for it to stand out and thus be able to speak about it.
