From her earliest efforts, Ramírez affirmed that she is a relentless collector of images and objects. In her artistic practice, the child's object —in most cases reimagined — blends with the remains of historic porcelain, cutlery, and a miscellany of cultural artifacts to illuminate the narrative between reality and a dream world. This tension allows her to mediate a dialogue of distinct relationships between the artisanal and the technological, the past and the present, the current over-explosion of images and information, the public and private space, power relations, fashion, and emigration. Ramirez’s work emerges through the memory of her material and visual culture.
