Compressed plastic toy on painted panel in case. Edition to 100 copies all different.
César questions the boundary between the artistic work and the everyday object. Using a compressed plastic toy integrated into a painted work, he encourages us to reflect on childhood, memory and the passage of time. Here, the plastic motorcycle becomes a metaphor for society: crushed, transformed and enclosed in a rigid frame. The toy's compression echoes the idea of modern society, where individuality is often compressed in favor of uniformity.
