Progresión is as a light and airy sculpture, made of wooden battens. The artist plays with the modularity and the rhythm of the wood. The work is similar to another series where the artist shows a lot of of irregular stairs (“Escalas”) which the people of Medellin use everyday. These stairs, with a sculptural form, function as the abstract for the wooden sculpture and creates a symbol of progress and effort, transcendence and the idea of surpassing oneself.
