StatementMy work is influenced by literature. Book titles, diverse narratives about the same event, or the repetition of debatable phenomena that are assumed to be true in culture are the starting point for establishing questions about history as a tool of power, religious faith, death, and the body in western thought. In many of my proposals, objects supplant the body, assuming the role of containers of vital information.
I am interested in the origins of the materials, their history, their composition, their physical appearance, and how they adhere to a certain environment or situation, which is why I work with different media: sculpture and installation, photographs, and drawings.
The decisions made, the accidents that occur, the experiences that accumulated, the learning, and the ideas that are derived from the object.
