My artistic practice involves experimenting with materials. I collect, gather, assemble, and "cook," while simultaneously engaging in a metaphysical exploration of hidden forces. My home and studio are in the house where I grew up, and this is evident in my methods, shaped by past experiences and déjà vu, which influence my thought processes and actions. I process and translate feelings and memories while attempting to neutralize, desecrate, and control the sense of place.
My work revolves around two main mediums: sculpture and photography. In sculpture, I use what surrounds me—objects and remnants I encounter during my wanderings or through emotional experiences tied to a specific place. Some creations emerge from play and experimentation, while others stem from deliberate planning and prior thought.
Objects often perceived as "degraded" are brought into my home and undergo transformative processes akin to a laboratory: isolation, duplication, perforation, and reassembly. These processes reflect a distancing from the original source, abstraction, and transformation into new sculptural objects.
Photography focuses on the sculptures, creating environments that establish interactions with the space or other entities. The resulting images often evoke associations with toys, laboratory samples, or ritual objects, challenging their perceived functionality.
These creations draw inspiration from archetypes, constructing a ceremonial space oscillating between fantasy and harsh reality.
My focus on the "abject" reflects contemporary reality, serving as a form of resistance to the escalating violence and the rigidity of the current social order.
