The series Rainbow is a spectacle about the modern commercial metropolis, kind of ironic fairy tale. A splendid rainbow traces a path across the sky. This rainbow consists on neon commercial signs from different places in the city. This manmade wonder takes place of natural wonder. With the collusion of desires, world cities are more and more like an aggregation of same fragments. Desires may never decrease or increase, but they are interconnected extremely rapid, forming a huge bridge of electronic light. We can walk from this end to the other, but only to find out there is the same on the other side.
