Memory is a collective landscape embedded in our body.
In my work, I explore the relationship between memory and affections through visual resources in the common imaginary of nature and landscape. With this, I seek to generate evocative and personal experiences in various media through image and narration.

The Planter I 2021

For the past four years, my research has been focused on migratory traces in Mexico, from vegetal migratory flows to affective mapping of migration processes. My artistic work includes the exploration and development of textile techniques in contemporary art, specifically though embroidery and natural dyes. Textiles have historically been an excluded medium
of this context, so it is a daily job to take advantage of existing on the sidelines and find the fissures where textiles can enter as a medium in art.
