Meridiano 180

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.
