statement

I’ve always thought my artistic work as a method to rethink our everyday
life through something material and touchable. Most of my projects revolve arround how are we inhabiting the world we live in, and how are we related with life and ecosistems that conform it.
I act within the artistic field because it is here where I’ve found the space to put in doubt the established knowledge. My aim is to make work from outside the frames of definition to look for a different point of view, to rethink the ordinary, what it is already there. Something that could lead us to touch us from the edges.
I attempt to find subversion into collective thinking and I work with nearby materials so as to produce a work which aims not to answer but to open the question, to let space for doubt.
