Large-scale installation that contains pictorial pieces of different sizes. It is a piece that grows and mutates over time and gains different meanings since the same pieces composed in different ways can reinforce a concept or put it in doubt. The idea of the work is that it adapts to the space in which it is presented, be it a huge room or a m2.
‘I’m interested in the different narratives that I can achieve with the same pieces; placing one next to the other generates different readings, either of similarity or contrast. This process is always open and the assemblages as well as the intervention intend to account that this is permanent change and evolution - a macrocosm where each fraction of microcosm is acquiring a different meaning with the passing of time.

Time and everything related to the historical, generates in me a constant fascination. Also, I am interested in breaking with the linear and preconceived conception we have of time and talk about the possibilities of a derivative, as rhizomes where past and future can come together.

It seems important to me the representation of the identity of the subject and the trace that leaves through time in a conscious or unconscious way. I seek to represent the characteristics that differentiate it from a society in which the influence of the concepts of nation, family and culture tend to coerce it.’ Says the Artist
