KIKO LÓPEZ | Wiwbak
About the piece
Wiwbak is a game, it is curiosity, it is the freedom that confronts us with our reality, our world, our incessant and dehumanized day to day. Through Wiwbak’s gaze we will discover the world for the first time.
This fragile, tender, and vulnerable being will accompany us on a journey within ourselves in search for the beauty within human nature.
