AB - "Somos" uses the technology of Instagram filters "to write on the reader's skin, fitting the first word of the poem 'we are' onto the face and hiding the word 'masks' inside the reader's mouth, which only appears when it is opened. <br><br>The colors of the reader's skin change to the different shades of human skin to symbolize that the colors of the skin, languages, cultures, religions do not matter, in the end, we are all masks.<br><br>This process of concealment not only occurs with the face but also with the word, that is why when opening the mouth the second part of the poem appears, completing the general meaning of the text.<br><br>It reproduces the sexual experience—reduced to a minimum mechanical expression—in a virtual space." -- José Aburto
