My body of work traverses different media involving paper and matrices such as printmaking, photography, and books, particularly small handmade editions.
I approach my work based on the idea that all and everything originates from one single source of light, which expresses itself as individuals with their own unique vibrations at different planes, and with whom we coexist, even if we can’t see them.
Water and chemistry, metaphors of unity, pulse and matter transmutation, are the scenario for my work. Traces and remnants provide the means to interrogate and bear witness of impermanence and mystery, and the pinhole camera’s long exposures are the ritual from where I invoke the souls of beings and places, as well as my own.
My last artist book Wak’a belongs to Harvard University’s Fine Arts Library & University of Miami Special Collections, since February 2023 as well as the artist book Caja Negra, a work made on 2020 in pandemia, part of a larger series of black boxes.
