Work: “Zafrero neighborhood”
Sugarcane, along with sugar mills, was one of the most important single crop farming in the Argentinean economy.
Many sugar harvesters travelled from all over the country to the northwest area of Argentina to work in the sugar harvest, and there they built their homes. My work is nourished with those images, the sugarcane as a symbol of progress but also of suffering, their shanty homes and stairs as a symbol of improvement and progress of man.
