My work crosses different media involving paper and matrices such as photography, engraving and books, particularly small, handmade editions.
I approach my work based on the idea that all and everything originates from one single source of light, which expresses itself as individuals with their own unique vibrations at different planes, and with whom we coexist, even if we cannot see them.
Water and chemistry as metaphors of unity, pulse and matter transmutation, are the scenario for my work. Traces and remnants provide the means to interrogate and bear witness of impermanence and mystery. The pinhole camera and its long exposures are the ritual from where I invoke the souls of beings and places, as well as my own.
My artist’s book Wak’a is held at Harvard University’s Fine Arts Library and The Fleet, Rhode Island School of Design’s Library, WOPHA International Archive as well as the Special Collections at Baylor University and University of Miami, the latter also housing my artist books Caja Negra and Despedimento.
