Artist Statement

 I develop works that explore space as a symbolic platform to generate reflections and questions about memory. At the same time, I show an interest in space as a system in which life forms, behaviors, and information are constantly being produced. As I approach these dynamics, I try to find new interstices that allow us to make visible and understand those areas of confluence of relationships. The field of action is extensive: libraries, warehouses, housing prototypes, schools, publishing houses, shelters, prisons, political institutions, and so on. That is why my actions are not limited to the gallery space but interact with less conventional settings in the art circuit.
