Details:

Alejandra’s series 'Grow Up' brings us closer to a moment in the past that seems familiar. Her work focuses on concepts such as collecting, accumulation, everyday life and possession. Starting from her own personal experience and the objects that surrounded her, Alejandra test the limits between collecting and obsession, between sanity and madness, of accumulating as a way to fill a vital void. The pictorial reproduction of these objects is intermingled with the vision of the artist, she adds her personal touch, as if for a moment we entered her mind and possessed her memories.

Alejandra Jaimes: “We realise how much we changed when by facing the same object or situation our reaction is different. Through ‘GROW UP’ and its 3 works ‘Infancia’ (Childhood), ‘Folder’ and ‘Herencias’ (Inheritance), the spectator is invited to go through his life (childhood, adolescence and maturity) to stop, observe, remember and rediscover… To observe and discover in order to remember, to remember in order to reflect and be aware of who we were and who we are, to rediscover certain feelings and sensations through memory and the contemplation, in order to somehow be aware of what we have gained but also of what we are losing along the way.
I represent the before and the now in a point of coexistence, starting from the classic ceramic figurines, but representing them from my artistic language, a more urban and so to speak, more current language.”
