Law of conservation of Energy states that energy is not created nor destroyed, only transformed. Likewise, my work seeks to understand the relation in between action, reaction, objects, images and the system where they occur.
My work goes around the interpretation of cultural symbols. No matter where we live environment determines our behavior. Thus, identity is a set of behaviors, symbols and objects that characterize a community. I think my work as a connection in between. The result is expressed as sculpture, video, writing, photo and drawings that reflect my temporariness in a specific space. Mexico, for example, develops in between failure and survival. It has built its culture from racial and cultural miscegenation. This “mixed media” condition allows my culture to create multiple combinations. The experiment is allowed even if the result fails. This applies to art, an activity where an unproven hypothesis does not mean the failure of a theory. ....
