This is not a stuffed animal / Esto no es un peluche

Inspired by transitional objects—the baby’s first step toward understanding the “not-me”—acting as a bridge over the emotional gap between primary attachments.
With this piece, I aim to explore the most intimate cravings of the flesh, the object, desire, and the shameless through playfulness and outward expression without shame.
The piece is designed to be touched by hand while activating the remote control and its various speeds, ideally with eyes closed. The hands, according to Aristotle, are “the precursor of all productive instruments” and, after the brain, humanity’s greatest treasure. They are both organs of expression and special sensory tools—capable not only of receiving but also of giving. This interaction becomes part of the piece, one that generates not only sensations but also a kind of learning for those who are willing to engage with it.
With this proposal, I aim to create a duality between the ‘dirty’ and the ‘cute.’ Teddy bears help children become more sociable and fall asleep, but they can also be early companions in the exploration of a child’s sexuality, becoming part of their self-pleasure. In this way, the bear becomes a friend who can keep your secrets.
