Sirènx has no genesis, fixed language, or gender. Here, the beautiful is also strange, shifting traditions of stillness. The artwork as a membrane: sirènxes. Toys become hosts of our manufactured humanity. Plants enter anatomy and become our teachers.

Sirènx is a partly unknowable hybrid, embryonic, native to the autonomous domain of artistic imagination, where freedom remains in a perpetual state of invention.

Media: Installation with cyanotypes on silk and organza; paintings on cotton paper with water-based pigments; collage and seed-oil-based pigment monotypes; sculptures made from cotton thread, wood, biopolymers, and stone; and fragments of sheer synthetic women’s tights incorporated into the sculptures.

This work, made with living snails, extends the Sirènx series' exploration of how human, animal, plant, object, and spirit continuously invent one another. As the snails moved across cotton paper, they left traces that may be read as drawing, landscape, cartography, or calligraphy. Yet these are human interpretations. Whether the marks are simply movement or forms of communication, orientation, or memory belongs to worlds we cannot fully know. The work remains suspended between another species' existence and our persistent desire to translate it into human language, inviting drawing to emerge as an open interspecies question.

The snails remained within a habitat composed of soil, water, and charcoal gathered from the place where they were found. After exploring the paper, they were safely returned to their environment. During the process, they also engaged in courtship behavior, according to biological research.

Cyanotype on cotton fabric with natural sheep wool felt from Argentina

40 × 60 cm

Natural sheep wool felt on natural cotton fabric

35 × 65 cm

Materials: gelatin, glycerin, sodium propionate, and blue food pigment.

This biopolymer sculpture explores the fluid boundary between organic and synthetic matter. Created through controlled heating, cooling, and spontaneous deformation, the material retains a fragile translucency that evokes marine membranes and vegetal tissues. As it dries, it bends and curls into unpredictable forms, embodying both growth and decay in a single gesture.

Materials: organic cotton textile (2 x 5 m) painted with añil (indigo) dye from Santiago de Niltepec, Oaxaca, hand-embroidered with naturally dyed cotton cords; includes 20 spherical magnets, six metal pulleys, and custom motion elements, stainless-steel spheres, seed pods, a round mirror, and a found child’s chair sculpted with natural pigments, bioplastics (potato starch), and sea salt.

Technology: mechanical servo motors, Arduino board, and video projection.

Activated by a live sound performance at LM Studio, the piece transforms the gallery into a fluid space of resonance and movement.

Indigo-dyed textiles made through traditional Oaxacan and Japanese techniques bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary experimentation.

Tactile Memory (complete series)

2025, Hyères, France

18 sheets, 21 × 29.7 cm each

Mixed media: cyanotype, India ink, añil pigments on cotton rag paper

Medium: geomantic fresco mural created with Mayan and mineral pigments, integrating principles of solar geometry and geomancy. This mural was developed at the Oaxaca School of Muralism, guided by Mexican muralist Jesús González, and in collaboration with regenerative Guatemalan architect Rocío Araujo.

Watercolor pigments (dry and wet); India ink, graphite on paper over wood frame

The lamp is woven from rice paper and vegetal fibers, dyed with cempasúchil, lime, and palo de Brasil, and features seashell pendants collected from the Oaxacan coast. The paper hat is tinted with beet tincture. The earth-painted textile beneath is cotton prepared with eucalyptus and painted with soil from the Mixteca region.

This interactive digital sound piece forms part of a broader investigation into environmental acoustics, sensor-based technologies, and the material poetics of place. Recorded underwater in the Calamuchita and Suquía rivers of Córdoba, Argentina, the work draws from the canto rodado — the resonant friction between rock and current. Through this interplay of softness and solidity, motion and rest, the piece invites a sensory encounter with a landscape in constant change. It is an encounter between hardness and softness, stillness and flow, freedom and weight — a conversation between the river’s body and its moving breath.

Visits CDMX I — Of Water Resiliency (2024, Ciudad de México, MX)

Indoor gallery installation view

Materials & Techniques:

Rooftop and indoor gallery intervention – rainwater sculpture using cement, transparent plastic tubing, LED light, and repurposed glass vessels with video projection on a suspended plastic container.

Floating Texts –  vegetable paper and graphite infused with glycerin.

Paper Bodies and Found Boxes – handmade recycled paper with fibers from Casa Lu’s garden and the bark of a fallen neighborhood tree; black ink, blue pigment, corn fibers, soil, clay, lime, and natural pigments. Found a wooden box with a metal key.

The installation "Of Water Resiliency" explores water’s circulation as both a material and a metaphor for adaptation. Rainwater collected on-site flows through a sculptural network of tubes and glass vessels, illuminated by soft LED light and accompanied by a video reflecting water’s various states—liquid, vapor, and sediment. It highlights Mexico City’s fragile relationship with its underground rivers and droughts, rooted in ancestral wisdom about our connection to the unknown. The accompanying video, made after a walk conversation with a fellow artist, deepens these themes of care, interdependence, creativity, and renewal.
