This work entitled “Meridiano 180” is a series of photographic
collages that represent a process of choices we make along the
trajectory of our lives. These choices determine facts and events;
reflections of which can be seen in coming decades, as a
consequence of chosen paths. The intention of the artist in
constructing the collages was to show the diverse amalgams that
we become today: a result of the choices we made yesterday.
