ARTIST STATEMENT
Body, memory, trauma, origin. My exploration has developed around these concepts that arise from a personal place but at the same time appeal to a collective experience. Through various manifestations, I insist on the same themes, almost obsessively, with different reactions each time. I am interested in working with as many languages as possible. In this way, my work is intermedial: multiple languages and forms of expression produce artistic and poetic experiences in which the limits are blurred. The theme of trauma has been recurrent in my work, especially in relation to the abrupt transition between childhood and adulthood. Growing up, changing, passing from one from one stage to another involves an emotional wound; trauma is a shock that provokes that wound because the limits are not defined. I understand memory as a modified reconstruction, a malleable and synthesized reality where there are absences; there are voids and incomplete bodies rebuilt by rough pieces. My work, in part, is a longing for remembrance and its preservation in memory.
