My practice explores the relationships that exist between people, places, landscapes and memory.

Travel is both my method and my material.

By spending long periods in different environments, I collect images, stories, natural materials and everyday gestures that gradually transform into photographs, drawings, sculptures, performances and installations.

Rather than creating separate projects, I see my work as one continuous process in which ideas move from one place, one material and one medium to another.

Photography is often where the work begins, but rarely where it ends. An image can become a drawing, a sculpture, a text or a performance, creating new connections as it changes form.

I am interested in how places shape us, how memories become part of the landscape, and how small encounters can reveal relationships that are not immediately visible.

Each work is part of a larger body of research that continues to evolve through movement, observation and time.

Before the vast territory of the Pacific Ocean, which some call

"the End of the World",

stretches a land that has grown within me for nine months.

From the volcanic lands of the North to the primeval rainforests of the West Coast,

from the icy peaks of the South to the shores of pristine lakes and blue lagoons, rest the daughters of pure springs.

passing through subterranean starry caves andreturning to the light in the mystical waters of the east.

Aves Mei

  captures bird cages in the Bronx Zoo, reflecting places I've lived—sometimes nests, sometimes prisons

Each photo ties to a home, with titles drawn from its vowels, symbolizing memories.

It explores freedom, captivity, and the emotional resonance of space and silence.

In Universo, the visible and invisible intertwine in a dance of primordial elements—earth, water, light, song—that find poetic geography within photographic surfaces,

colored threads, and the transparencies of glass. A sense of wonder emerges, as though one could touch the heartbeat of the cosmos hidden within the dust of a childhood garden and the glow of a yet-to-be-named constellation.

It is a circular journey that begins in the shadow of what once was and ascends toward the stars,

stitching together traces of the past and generating new horizons of meaning. A pursuit of returning both matter—and ourselves—to the form of an intimate and universal song.
