Through travels and research, I investigate the effects of the passage of time on places and its inhabitants, focusing on the exchanges between them, when the body interferes – either with its presence or absence – and modifies the spaces it occupies. I am also interested in the history of vernacular as well as iconic architecture of small and big cities. In the series Recollection I reinterpret symbolic constructions into miniature sculptures that allude to travel souvenirs, I tackle not only concepts of collection, but also notions of personal and collective memories. I am interested in the meanings that human beings attach to places and objects, and how such experiences can serve as catalysts to alter public perspectives, inserting them into private domains.
