100/100 Basuradejoyería -Jewelry waste, is an artist's book based on a photograph of an Argentinian open pit mine. Includes one of the 100 signed and numbered brooch and photographs of the work process.

The image of an open pit mine reflects an artist’s “extractive” activities … Their serial reproduction deactivates the concept of uniqueness and, therefore, questions the social role of pieces of jewelry as amplifiers of identity. The dust becomes an image of fragmentation, dissolution, and homogenization of shared identities in crisis, in a world that is on the verge of self-destruction.
