El Fantasma del Diablo Rojo, charcoal rubbing on cotton. Created for the Bienal Del Sur en Panama, 2013.

This piece was made at the moment Panama's famous colorful public buses, or Diablo Rojo's, were being retired and replaced with new, uniform ones. This project is a rubbing of the surface of a Diablo Rojo on it's way to being scrapped.
