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.
