Between fissure and continuity, my work is constructed from matter in a state of interruption.
My works begin with emptiness as a fertile space, an interval that gives voice to creation, just as a pause gives voice to music. Rupture, incision, breakage, and fracture are marks to be brought to light, not events to be concealed. They are the conditions that generate form.
Life leaves traces that we are not always able to grasp at the exact moment they occur; it is everyday life creating relationships and permeating lives second by second. Giving meaning to these passages is the guiding thread of my research.
The support is not merely the medium that receives my mark; it is a character in its own right. It traces a narrative with me. In its origin, provenance, and form, it carries marks and meanings in the same way that my own body records life.
My work does not seek to restore a lost unity, but to establish new possible continuities. In this way, the fissure ceases to be a flaw and begins to operate as structure; gold does not correct, it reveals; the cut does not interrupt, it reorganizes; the fibers are natural, like my skin.
Papyrus, with its millennia-old and almost sacred authority, receives my records, connecting what has passed, what is, and what I envision as a path forward.
Among fragments, seams, and tensioned surfaces, there is a space in which matter reconfigures itself and time settles in layers.
