A solo exhibition of work by

Like a flicker of sunlight or the trembling of a shadow, identity moves. To fully know oneself, takes work. It’s a precarious practice…


My work is concerned with exploring notions of shifting identities. We are stratified beings, characters through time. Through extensive material research, I examine the character of a material memory embedded within objects. My encounters through making art, bring me closer to understanding myself and the world around me.


Working mostly with native and locally sourced objects in Mexico City like silver, the magnolia tree, bamboo sheaths, paired with my own voice, I collaborate with the environment. Within this space, light uncovers vital qualities within these materials.


By taking care of these objects, I expose their materiality, breathing new life into their memories.
