About me

My work investigates perception as an experience that goes beyond the act of seeing, unfolding in a continuous dialogue between reality and imagination. Within this threshold space, ambiguous forms emerge, suspended between the external world and the inner dimension.

At the core of my research is pareidolia, understood as a poetic language capable of bringing latent images and narratives to the surface, revealing the hidden vitality of forms.

Papier-mâché is the material at the center of this inquiry: fragile and porous, it absorbs gesture and retains memory. The resulting fragments evoke nature without imitating it, positioned between organic presence and artifice. Light acts as a co-author, activating the material and generating shifting shadows that intensify the perceptual play.

Walking is an integral part of my creative process—an act of listening that restores the body as a perceptual center. My work thus inhabits a subtle threshold, where perception, matter, and movement intertwine in a poetic experience open to new ways of seeing.
