The Weed Spreader project stems from the artist's fascination with the ambiguity of the concept of "weed" and its fluidity across time and space, particularly in relation to how we manage the land. The artist views weeds as a metaphor for people—those who colonize valuable spaces and exploit resources to maximize profit. Intrusive, invasive, competitive, and antagonistic by nature, they embody a certain relentless drive. For the artist, the eradication of weeds becomes a metaphor for the destruction of human beings, with their uprooting akin to the severing of human limbs. In one part of the world, a particular plant might be highly beneficial, while in another, it is considered a weed, and treated accordingly. The same logic applies to the way humans are treated. The central figure of this project—the catalyst of its narrative—is the Weed Spreader, a character of unclear origin and purpose within the story. It cannot be said that this figure is a hero, nor is it purely an antagonist. What this figure does is peculiar: he "plants" people. It remains unclear whether he's also killing, dismembering, or simply collecting and offering new possibilities for life by reintroducing human parts into the soil.

The outpouring of creative energy of individuality merges into a stream of loosely connected stories. Years of organic work by five filmmakers have created a twisted film collage, in which the employees of Estrada Television, during a company race, experience their personal spiritual cleansing.
