I create sculptures from trash and discarded materials which are often malleable and even wearable, and address a series of environmental and behavioral issues. These sculptures unfold into installations, photo-performances and portraits. Control is an illusion, and through the work, I exercise the acceptance of what recycled and everyday materials reveal, from accidents to new processes. The vital materiality of quotidian objects is my starting point and leads me to a reevaluation of the dichotomy between life/inanimate, human/nature.
In the emergence of the unconscious, I am interested in the appearance of primal forms, remnants of timeless myths and ceremonial objects, and thus I refer to Beuys’ shamanic practice: by limiting the presence of consciousness and censoring ego in the work, I hope to channel an essential poetry.
