Baligo

Pink Mindset and Lemon Ears is a sculptural dialogue between Bulgarian artist Lora Nestorova and Ecuadorian artist José Cobos. Using a contemporary adaptation of the Surrealist cadavre exquis, each sculpture is built blind in three sections — head, torso and legs — each artist responding only to the cues left by the other at the joints. Baligo explores the state of being "careless" and unburdened. • Head (Lora): Inspired by the honey badger — the ultimate "warrior" animal. Despite its small size, it fears nothing and is always ready to stand its ground, embodying a fearless, careless attitude. • Torso (José): To be truly "careless" is to embrace one's body regardless of societal beauty standards. A stout, relaxed torso — a "monster" on vacation — a tribute to the unapologetic joy of a person on a beach, comfortable in their own skin and enjoying the moment without reserve. • Legs (Lora): The frog-like legs emphasize this casual defiance; one leg flashes a middle finger while the other wears a swimming accessory, suggesting a creature that has just emerged from the water, ready to rest and ignore the world.
