Sin Título – Escuela Primaria Benito Juárez, Aguaje El Zapote
A series of clay plates with inscriptions in low relief were put together to form allegorical motifs with animals and plants from the mangrove ecosystem. Four different designs were made to intervene in the main building and gardens at the school. A total of 8 clay plates were installed, each one holding 9 pieces of 20 x 30 cm.
These clay plates are thought to be intervened with colored chalk by the students of the institution.

Tomás Díaz Cedeño is an artist that explores notions about the body and its relationship to the environment. His works questions the need to control and the hierarchy as a cultural mechanism to understand the world.
His work created narratives through objects or sculptures included in installations. Sometimes referencing systems that are activated through subtle gestures such as body movement through space or fountain-like water flowing. In his works, the idea of sculptures understood as autonomous entities, is recurrent. That is to say, a humanized object has an independent life from the spectator or its context. It takes up material and communication elements, linked to the symbolic language and to different belief systems. It seems as if the objects he creates, do not correspond to a specific historical time, being related to the past as well as the future. That fictional characteristic is intentional and reinforced through an illusory use of different materials and techniques.
