“I was inspired by both the architectural and sculptural aspects of Gaudí’s work, taking as a reference the Sagrada Familia and the trencadís technique that the artist developed.

To carry out this project, I have taken into account two of the fundamental pillars of Gaudí’s work, the Sagrada Familia, focusing on the Façade of the Nativity, and the trencadís, a system of mosaics that he used for decoration. I have also worked on two of the concepts that support my work, human values. In this particular case, peace and the behavior of society today. 

I started noticing the similarity of the dress to the Nativity Façade of the Holy Family, with its conical shape and the folds sewn vertically. Sacred buildings tend to be built as tall as possible, so as to show their splendour, but also to be closer to divinity. I became interested in the latter. In the dress, doves have been sewn on top, imagining that these represent divinity. These doves are painted in pink, symbolizing the opening of the heart. At the base of the dress, I’ve created an indigo blue mantle, which represents the search for truth, on which I place humanity in the form of squares, which simulate Gaudí’s trencadís and that represent individuals in society, trying to reach the doves of peace. 

With my contribution I intend to reflect on the need to rethink certain values that are essential for the proper coexistence between individuals, as well as with nature and new communication systems”.
