The image, printed on methacrylate with a glossy finish, shows the artist's body covered by more than a hundred logos digitally tattooed on her skin, as if her identity were being constructed. based on the audiovisual and commercial culture that saw us grow up. From Neon Genesis Evangelion to the Spice Girls, the Tamagotchi, the Petit Suisse, the test card, and Boomer gum, this Artwork speaks to collective memory, nostalgia, and the construction of identity through everyday life. The title "Sign in" refers to the idea of connection, of entering a system—be it a social netArtwork or a generational narrative.
