Artworks

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.

Cyanotype on cotton fabric with natural sheep wool felt from Argentina

40 × 60 cm

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

This biopolymer sculpture explores the fluid boundary between organic and synthetic matter. Created through a process of 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.

While I have long worked with fabrics, paper, water-based media, found objects, and technology, Translucent Organism marked a turning point in my practice: the beginning of my research into biomaterials as regenerative living archives, translating laboratory learning into a sensory meditation on ecological temporality, fragility, and care.

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.

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.

The air speaks — The Humidity Reader listens.

Slightly sweaty, totally fabulous. 100% attitude.

Medium and materials: humidity and temperature, plant, soil, water, sunlight

Technology: Arduino + DHT22 sensor (humidity and temperature data), OpenFrameworks for real-time sound and visualization

This ongoing experiment translates environmental data from a living plant into generative sound and motion graphics. Variations in light, humidity, and temperature produce shifting tones and rhythms, allowing the environment to “compose” its own score. The work explores how technology can serve as a translator of ecological intelligence, revealing patterns of communication between living systems and digital interpretation.

Through this prototype, I have become increasingly aware of the energetic and material footprint of the tools that make such translation possible. This insight opens a critical inquiry for my next phase of research: how to design low-power, biodegradable, or repairable interfaces that minimize waste while maintaining sensory richness. The project thus becomes both an artwork and a test site for rethinking technology’s role within regenerative ecosystems.

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. Created during a rainy season after a severe water shortage, the work embodies resilience in women, water, and waste. The accompanying video, made after a walk conversation with a fellow artist, deepens these themes of care, interdependence, creativity, and renewal.

Hand-made paper made with fibers from a garden in CDMX, Casa Lu, black ink and blue pigment, rectangular wood box with metal key, 6.2 x 4 ins.
