My work explores the tension between nature and the idea of “progress”—a form of advancement that, in its expansive drive, devastates native species of flora and fauna. We are living in an era of mass extinction, where the natural balance is threatened by unchecked development.
In response to this reality, clay becomes the central axis of my work. This material, closely tied to bioconstruction and ancestral techniques, allows me to create pieces that evoke the primal connection between humans and the Earth.
My artworks speak of habitat loss, indiscriminate logging, burning, absence, and the exodus of the few remaining animals in search of a safe place. I work with solid forms as pictorial supports, aiming to create a sensory experience that invites reflection on our relationship with the environment and the memory held in materials.
I collaborate with artisans and artists from Colombia and Argentina in a mutual exchange of knowledge.
