Just the Man

This work depicts human evolution as a trajectory marked by violence and self-destruction, through three figures that gradually transform the living body into a mechanized human form. The figure of Australopithecus afarensis, the human head with broken teeth, and the fusion of the face with a tank graphically embody the transition from a nonviolent origin to an intelligence diverted toward brutality and destruction. By contrasting biological evolution with the gradual degradation of humanity, the work captures the paradox of a species that develops its intelligence to create the means of its own destruction, to the point of becoming its own greatest enemy.
