Skins
Skins is a project that merges found and intervened objects with soft sculptures and performances, exploring rituals to dismantle and rebuild myself.

I immerse myself repeatedly in the object, sewing into it and with it. However, this is not a common seam; sometimes it's nervous, tense, painful, and obsessive, and at other times meticulous, careful, and calm. As I intervene in the object, I review its wounds and mine. We have changed, we have affected each other. Time has passed, and both the material and the body eventually reveal it.

In the work "Monsters," dolls (Barbies) are subjected to a process of dismemberment to then be reconstructed through the action of sewing. By wrapping them with fabric and each stitch directly onto the object's surface, I engulf them as they transfigure. The dolls function as a kind of projection of the self, allowing an examination, through the object, of the butcheries hidden in the psyche.

In the performance "Skins," the action is a ritual of rebirth that involves remaining in a trance for several hours inside a tubular fabric. Meanwhile, bodily sounds of fluids are reproduced to provoke a process of introspection through the movement of the body and its interaction with the soft and warm material associated with the corporeal and vital. Within this intimate space of the fabric, I open and sew soft textures that are containers of liquids, which gradually color and moisten the fabric. This creates an environment that, while enveloping me, acts as a porous barrier and an extension of my own body, as well as opening a portal of emotions and sensations to reconstruct experiences.
