Luis Miguel Suro

Pluma Bic Punto Fino (Serie Plagios Cotidianos)

A glazed ceramic sculpture meticulously replicates the humble, everyday Bic fine-point pen in the tactile and ancient medium of fired clay. Suro's work, part of his *Plagios Cotidianos* (Everyday Plagiarisms) series, elevates a mass-produced, disposable object into a contemplative artifact by translating its familiar form into a material of permanence and craft. The transformation invites reflection on value, authenticity, and the tension between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
