Human Beings ( Ser Humano )

“Human Being” - An artwork from the “Pure Life” collection, is a visual tribute to the complexity and fragility of the human being in a world transformed by science and biotechnology. This piece uses a barcode as the central symbol to represent the 23 pairs of chromosomes that make up humanity’s genetic blueprint. Each line of the barcode embodies a DNA sequence, merging biological identity with a contemporary symbol of standardization and control.

The artwork addresses genetic manipulation as a reality of our time, reflecting how scientific interventions, such as genetic modification and vaccines, interact with the very core of life. In a world where children and people, in general, receive treatments that not only protect but also alter their biology, the piece raises profound questions about ethical boundaries and the consequences of these transformations.

The barcode not only represents a unique genetic footprint but also symbolizes the commercialization of life, questioning how technology influences our most fundamental essence. Through this piece, “Human Being” invites viewers to reflect on the evolution of humanity, the impact of biotechnology on our lives, and the delicate balance between innovation and humanity.
