The symbol in the works of Aixa Portero, is an indispensable mechanism in the processes of cultural transmission and, therefore, also in aesthetic-plastic communication devices. They prevent the memory of a collective from dissolving in the shadows of time. Following Lotman, we could discern two planes of interpretation with respect to the symbol. The concept of the air is very important in the work of Portero, who becomes presence in the form of a feather, evidence of wind, lightness, elevation and flight.
