This work constructs a powerful dialogue between memory, consumption, and human fragility. The central figure, iconic and melancholic, appears stripped of its heroic aura, transformed into a symbol of vulnerability in a world dominated by branding and advertising messages. The intense red of the logo, almost bleeding, emerges as an invasive presence that contrasts with the grayscale scale of the characters, emphasizing the tension between humanity and commercialization. The urban texture, graphics, and layered overlays reinforce a sense of wear and accumulated time, while the child figure introduces an emotional reading: the inheritance of a system that is transmitted, almost without choice, from generation to generation. The piece confronts the viewer with irony and rawness, questioning the individual's place in a society saturated with symbols of consumption.
