Prodigal son
Gabriel Rico
This intervention proposes a man as a center, with his practical and mystical knowledge gravitating around him. In this work, the symbolism of the human as the heart and the very center of the cosmos is important. Positioned as “the prodigal son of creation”, human beings have access to celestial knowledge and through which they acquire the ability to create new knowledge and matter.
