I make installations using organic materials, found objects, photography, text and movement. I closely examine a subject such as a word, object or place, exploring it through linguistic, philosophical, social, cultural, symbolic and poetic perspectives, among others.
Through this process, meanings are broken down and reworked until the original form begins to dissolve. New ideas and associations emerge, revealing the invisible connections between things.
My practice seeks a more contemplative way of engaging with the world, becoming attentive to both human and more-than-human beings, places and phenomena.
