My artwork has been influenced by cross-cultural understanding brought about by the experience of working and living in South America’s Andean culture and India. I make sculptures and installations to explore human behavior within and across space, redirecting believes and perceptive differences.

I mostly work on contradictions found in the daily struggle of realigning dominant thinking structures with an experience. I am searching for and facilitating encounters where the work emerges from the act of meeting rather than the sum of its separate original components.

Central in my practice is the aim to show the multi-relational awareness that functions as a web of intertwined existence between and within humans, nature and objects. Grounded in Andean South American believes and perceptions of reality, I mostly approach with spatiality and corporality in my sculptures. Spatiality in different dimensions, as multiple separated spaces that may be separated in time and space but are actually entwined and acting simultaneously.
