I see my work as a place where different ways of operating and assimilating personal historical processes take place. I am interested in investigating some socio-cultural remnants or debris that are integrated with this personal history and ultimately embodied in the works. I work with materials that refer to my own history: remains, fabrics, fragments of works and clothing that are re-signified in the present. It is important for me to make an analysis of each of them, to classify them and to proceed to the action of cutting them, rolling them, burning them, sewing them, in a word, to intervene in them. Conceptually, I am interested in the figure of the square as an idea, a form of organization that synthesizes a space, forming a territory of possibilities that repeats itself in an infinite plot. I articulate these plots as a corporeal space in which I can dialogue and transform, generating a story with new poetry.
