Our proposal is inspired by the neighborhood. Where we live, we get around in bike taxis, driven by people with zero traffic ethics. They run over people, run over you, don't wait their turn... they enforce the saying: "the neighborhood is the neighborhood and the law of the street applies." We've taken these terrorists from the pavement to let our imaginations run wild, transforming the carriages into machines powered by gas tanks in true Steampunk style. A style that is retro yet futuristic, one that wanders back to the industrial era of 200 years ago. A style that motivates me for its dystopia, apocalyptic, and anarchic nature. Therefore, when thinking about fantastic machinery, I couldn't help but visually and ideologically refer to the world of Mad Max (George Miller), a film that has had a great influence on me since I was a child. This is how we've turned bike taxi drivers into the very Fury of the neighborhood. I want to thank my Pochito, who endured the seven-hour modeling contest, giving it a good amount of attention. In life, you only hope to have a partner, but having that partner share and be passionate about the same things with you is a dream come true. Thank you for competing with me, Osito. Thank you also to my buddies and Team Purple. You're always my support. I love you all. Thanks to you, vyzylovers, I received tons of supportive messages and kind words that will stay in my heart. We're waiting for the results; in the meantime, the learning continues and the love grows stronger.
