Statement
The focus is in laboratory dynamics, constant experimentation, trial and error, in observing materials and where they go.
What stories do I find? Where are the limits?
An endless translation of memories, a collection, an inventory of objects, stories, places that allow me to map and fantasize about a new space where all these things have another order, another origin, tell another story.
The coexistence of all these elements together with the involvement of the body present make the practice a moment of intuition mixed with research.
I wonder about time, how we build our daily lives and perceptions of space, and nature.
