The Symbol as Shelter

The Symbol as an Axis of Resilience

"I am deeply moved by the human need for symbolism as an axis of resilience. Whether it is a marking in a cave or a virgin in a cathedral, I understand the symbol as a necessary light of identity to navigate through the darkness. My work seeks to capture this universal pulse of belief, granting a devotional dimension to matter through stories of faith, festivities, and a devotion that emerges amidst endless textures.

My process is a constant exploration of materiality: I navigate paper, glass beads, the strength of embossed metal, and sculpture. Beyond merely applying techniques, I seek to reinterpret materials until I extract the hidden texture within them. Since my beginnings in 2021, my language has evolved toward the density of papier-mâché and micro-cement, intervened by the light of gold leaf. In this dialogue, I seek a reconciliation with the heritage of Mexican Popular Art, transforming traditional elements into new languages of relief and volume."
