The work comes from the observation of the popular culture in a broad sense, aiming to restore a possibility of a sincere existence as a human being. It makes his own situations, objects and figures from the popular world, returning them though a childish attitude. In this way, the child figure stops having a defined social identity becoming a practice instead, a doctrine made of authoritativeness and lightness that has the power to create heterotypic brackets, in which success and defeat are shaped in the rectangle of a courtyard.
