It is through the paradoxical nature of the sculpture Untitled (spectrum of a rainbow) that themes linked to the exercise of violence and the subversion of innocence are questioned. The reconfiguration of objects linked to childhood and play gives rise to new interpretations that contradict the meanings inherent in the symbolism present in these universes. On the one hand, the chromatic dimension and the very shape of the sculpture suggest a tension and a balance of forces; on the other hand, there is an aggressive gesture contained in the sculpture that refers to the paradox of a destructive action that can also be creative, materializing in an object that condenses the power of the gesture of drawing.
