WORKS
Inhabiting at Three Scales
My exploration of inhabiting, across the mundane, corporeal, and perceptual scales, defines a triad of thematic works. Within each, I rethink narratives related to belief systems—such as social and political practices, body paradigms including identity and gender, and perception, where landscape becomes the foreground—and the role of memory within these processes.
Inhabiting the World. Focused on questions arising from inhabiting human-transformed geographic space—the anthropic realm, including urban environments and architecture. Seedscapes is the main project, positioning seeds as the origin of cities and exploring their natural, material, aesthetic, and symbolic potential to sow new worlds and imagine alternative ways of inhabiting those that already exist.
Inhabiting the Body. Dedicated to the human body as the immediate space of being, a heterotopia in tension with the world, and a genuine site of resistance and experimentation where the machinery of power can be dismantled. This is where the tensions between the mundane and perceptual are embodied, and where identity can be re-built once awareness of inhabiting this space awakens.
Inhabiting the Mind. Focused on landscape as perceived space, understood as a place where the mind lives; a medium for imagining alternative paradigms of human perception, cultivating care for thoughts and the ways we apprehend experiences through the senses. This is where attention is tuned to what sensations can reveal.
These thematic works intertwine through shared characteristics, forming a continuous and limitless triad—world, body, mind. This framework guides the development of series specific to each theme, comprising a variable number of works that emerge organically from the processes and dialogues each idea generates. These series, in turn, inform the discourse, choice of materials, and techniques employed.
