Biography:
In the search for a work cohesive to my private world, my interests, my vision of the human, the subjective and my choice of a life away from stereotypes, I drift to the language of conceptual-experimental jewelry and approach it as a device of Art, taking it to a conceptual displacement that detaches it from the traditional codes so that my pieces are not limited to only one materiality, everything can be used to build. The materials invite me to activate my senses and they listen to the material.
My poetics is linked to philosophy, poetry and art, they are part of my daily life. My pieces are born after a reflective experience of life, an investigation, a learning, each of my pieces are the result of my connection with all the existence that is in my environment as well as within me.
Collection Concept:
This series derives from the action of destroying the clothes that inhabit my body in order to configure the opening. Clothes disguise the authentic, highlighting appearances and hiding the self. In my pieces I cross textile experimentation from the destruction of a knitted garment, an action linked to Heideggerian thought, which proposes the idea of destroying the meaning of everything to realize that finally at the bottom, there is no bottom. That is to say, everything can be other way. Ripping armor to break away from binary.
