FIND A WORD FOR IT
In Find a Word For It, Gabriel interrogates the mechanisms through which media manufactures political and social iconography. Combining visual and lexical elements, he constructs fields of meaning where language both defines and destabilizes the image.
The work unfolds within tensions—between representation and narration, identity and projection—revealing the instability of the icons that shape collective memory. It invites the viewer to question not only what they see, but the words through which they understand it.
Each composition is built from an extensive process of collecting and assembling hundreds of original vintage newspapers and archival fragments. Through layering, extraction, and recomposition, these materials are transformed into dense visual structures where history itself becomes both medium and message.

After a 10 years of a personal journey in the history of Photojournalism, Gabriel brought "Find a Word for it" as a reflection on major societal topics as Power & Politics, Sex, Business, Nations, Environment, Finance & Economics... and their relations to these icons that Media create along the time. Gabriel tries to understand how Media build in our minds these familiar faces and all the ideas related to them. He finally question this process trying to establish whether the character itself or the media create these icons ?
​
This project is a dive into lexical fields sometime contradictory, reflecting a type of social and media schizophrenia, finally inviting the spectator to review and assess his approach, leaving him the choice to stick to a personal vision.
