Ascension (2020-2024)
Ascension testifies to the inherently transformative power of introspection in nature, which often provides a release of stagnant energies, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and find renewal in the act of letting go. Rooted in the realm of land art, the two plant bundles hover like silent guardians of wisdom, testaments to the resilience of nature and the human spirit alike. I hope to inspire a sense of connection with the natural world and an understanding of the profound beauty that emerges when we release the energies that hinder personal and collective growth.
Gratification (2023)
Gratitude is the simplest form of prayer; I'm guessing prayer must have had its origins in gratitude. Gratification, then, a form of worship. To push it: to gratify oneself with another is an admission of the other, as divine. Gratification: from Latin grātificō, “to do a favor to, oblige, please, gratify”, from grātus, “kind, pleasing” + faciō, “to make”. Por favor, to make pleasing, then.
How hard it is to kill the self. (2020)
Manzanita Figurina (2019)
My goal is to create work that not only inspires reflection and contemplation about the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world, but that also encourages an inward glance to one’s own magnificent frailty.
