Upon moving from North Dallas to Oak Cliff, a largely Hispanic neighborhood close to Dallas proper, Joachim became more focused on working freely, without limitations or boundaries.   Instead of focusing primarily on the series of drawings and paintings that he had been working on for approximately a decade, Joachim opened himself to follow inspiration as it led him.  This resulted in the L'essence de la Chat show as well as the Black Mirror / Whyte Window / Black -Burqa show and culminated in an exhibition at an avant-garde experimental space that occupies a re-purposed airplane hanger in Dallas, Texas.

The exhibition was titled Salud and was presented as a parting exhibition as Joachim prepared to return to Spain where he currently lives.

This series of digital images reassembles advertisements, replacing defunct companies logos with contemporary companies on older posters by recognized artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec and Henri Mucha with contemporary companies and contemporary logos with the artists signature.

This temporary sculpture was built to have no persistent environmental impact.  Local deadwood was tied and loosely weaved around a 20 foot, abandoned bird feeder.  The ropes were then removed so that the wood would splay open and around the bottom of the feeder as the next few weeks passed leaving behind nothing that was unnatural to the environment.

Originally created within a small Mexican part of Oak Cliff in Dallas, this intervention into nature was a response to two different artists.  The first, using an Italian plant, skewered eggshells on the tips of the plant.  The second, a Puerto Rican artist did the same with a Puerto Rican plant and with small fish.  For the Texas version Joachim decided that the plant should be much larger and that the food item that was skewered by the plant should be able to give the consumer diabetes.  The application of donuts onto the agave plant, located on the side of someone property drew a crowd of locals, including the owner of the property and her family, a native of Mexico who had brought the agave plant with her and generously offered us a small agave plant that had spawned from the larger plant as a gift before instructing her sister and daughter to pose so that she could take a photograph.  She explained that leaves from the agave plant were missing since the locals would sometimes use them while cooking. 

The Anarchist's Coloring book was easily created using appropriated images, recombined to become a simple artist statement made to contrast the popular jargon laden artist statement's of the day.

This series of drawings, focusing of female beauty was begun much earlier but was taken up again using live nude models as well as digital photographic manipulation.
