COLOMBIAN DREAM, series

This is a series of works related to the idea of being a foreigner in Colombia and having to deal with the country’s linguistic expressions.

Some works are based on words, like "bacano" which means cool, the word estranged when broken into two parts: "baca" (i.e. vaca, or cow in English) and "no", resulting in the negation of a cow. Or, expressions like "ser abeja", which means cleverness, literally translates into English as bee-like. Sometimes these works are not only about Colombian idioms, but word games in general.

The two lines appearing at the bottom of each work are done with passport or visa codes in mind (i.e. the alphanumeric sequence on the bottom of a passport or visa’s first page).
