This series is a metaphor for the colonization of nature by human beings, which spreads like an aggressive cancer, manipulating the life of other species and their own without control, playing the demiurge, polluting and exterminating. These pieces embody ideas as diverse as growth, beauty, life, disease, decay, pollution, deformity, and death.
