Guaca
Guaca means hidden or buried treasure. This refers, above all, to the treasuries-objects, jewelry, ceramics, etc.-found in the tombs of our ancestors natives in South America.
I personally believe, there are Guacas everywhere, not only in the graves.
The green space lost nowadays with the construction of new skyscrapers, buildings, hotels, entire cities is a treasure we would not be able to recover in the future, not even with all the money we can all produce for the system.
This image works both as a puzzle or a complete image build up by 36 individual screenprints. It is a kind of grave and at the same time, is the metaphor of the grass reviving; is the price of our modernity, the memory of what once was, the joy of being aware that I do not change a gold coin for the smell of real fresh grass.
