!!!!!! MACELA ARMAS!!!!!!!!

  Resistance is a representation of the United States-Mexico border executed with a metal incandescent filament      called resistance heating. The resistance used in the work establishes a metaphorical relationship to the socio-political reality that is lived on both sides of the border, by representing it as an overwhelming line filled with tension and incandescence. Resistance heating demands and consumes large amounts of energy from the electrical grid that feeds it.

The work reflects the border as a dangerous edge, as well as the rupture and distortion of relations between two neighboring nations.
