A military uniform jacket has helped me to recreate the subject of decorations along with their symbolism and materiality.
By de-contextualizing their use and shape, the jacket material becomes material used for decoration.
The inner space of the jacket, usually taken up with decoration and medals, comes away from the jacket creating an empty space charged with great symbolic meaning.
The fraction of jacket takes on the value of a medal by coming into contact with other elements inside the same composition.
The final artwork is made by two pieces, the jacket with its empty space and the torn fabric turned into a medal.

Klimt02 Gallery presents CON–DECORADOS, an exhibition born with the intention of reinventing an icon as globally widespread as decorations, those medals that are given as a reward, that proclaim to the world that the wearer has reached great honour and recognition.
