My work is characterised by the search for the limits between the found, the everyday and what the eye constructs, taking a special interest in the relationship between the gaze, the human being and nature, questions that I have approached from different perspectives in all my projects:
“I find myself close to the work of a collector – of signs, of objects – and of an architect or sculptor who assembles what I find to reconstruct sensations”.
