My work addresses themes related to the everyday; I make visible realities and topics that may seem to lack value and are related to our delicate domestic life; the house, the home, migration, rural life, precariousness and loss, parenting, among others.
My working methodology leads me to explore various techniques such as drawing, installation, photography, painting, video, textiles, among others.
I investigate abandoned spaces, specifically houses, and select discarded materials; remnants of insignificant things that tell their existence. I collect, then classify to build structures that manifest their resilient state.
