The abstract sculptor Xavier Sis (Lleida, Spain) has planted in gallery of the Pons Fundació in Barcelona a collection of sculptures that incorporate electronic light as a conceptual innovation that grants them a larger-than-life appearance. Sis never fails to leave the visitor indifferent. He is an experimental artist, and, this time, he plunges us into the depths of a dark ocean where light is nothing but a trap of form, a vital gesture designed to attract prey or confuse predators.

A tribute to people dispossessed of their land. A people deprived of a vital resource. Those who become ill from the unhygienic conditions that surround them. Victims of natural disasters compounded by human greed. Those who die unjustly. Those who defend a fundamental right. A tribute to all those whose voices have been silenced, repressed and forgotten. All because of that most precious resource: water.

Someday, all identity cards will cease to exist. Go ahead and start bidding a fond farewell to the passport and credit cards; even the days of the Social Security card are numbered. Perhaps the same goes for the passwords to access our e-mail account or Facebook profile. Today, in the eyes of Big Brother, we are nothing but a number, when, in reality, our body is full of inimitable and completely impossible to falsify traits. Someday, IDs, passwords and bank cards will be replaced by some anatomical feature that characterizes us, something that make us totally and undeniably unique.
