His practice lies at the intersection of sculpture, image and performance. His work explores the construction of contemporary imaginaries drawn from popular culture and the symbols that permeate both individual and collective experience. He is particularly interested in how desire, understood as individual potential, is inevitably embedded within a shared framework and relates to forms of the common. Through objects, images and sculptural devices, she investigates the relationships between representation and presence, image and form, body and space. His work incorporates materials and elements linked to the performing arts, which he transforms into structures capable of functioning as stages for action. In this process, he pays attention to the possibilities of assembling, dismantling, supporting and transforming objects and forms. He also works with remnants, errors and materials from previous processes, viewing their reuse as a way of generating new layers of meaning. Reading, observation, exchange and experimentation are fundamental tools in his artistic research process.
