In Psicopompo Cooking Crystal (2010) one can observe the construction of an image that seems to be removed from a larger, unknown context. The iron and steel gate is open, and the door is covered by magnets. In a mystical reading, gates are the representation of moments of energetic transformation, just like magnets, that also deal with magnetic fields.
When crossing the portal, there is a human silhouette – built with metallic cables and filled with crystals and glass containers, the latter, on their turn, filled with yellow liquid and resin-extruded mass. At the same time they sustain the body, the cables also keep them tied to the wooden structure typical of marionettes.
