"My practice explores the theme of memory, not as an objective testimony, but as an unstable matter in constant evolution. It emerges from the lens through which we rework a memory, asking: can memory truly exist without our present consciousness reshaping it?

It is often said that we are the sum of our past; I believe we are the product of how we perceive it.

Photography serves as the starting point in my work: Van Dyke Brown or pigment prints, generally on linen or cotton. Historically conceived as an objective witness, photography for me becomes a deceitful narrator, manipulated and reworked through material interventions such as rust, bleach, oil paint, sand, and cement. Memory, in turn, is distorted, obscured, erased, and rewritten.

The body is central to my practice, but not as a faithful representation: it becomes a passage, a threshold between dream and memory, between reality and emotion. Each canvas is a rewriting, an attempt to capture not what was, but what remains; that bittersweet echo the past leaves within us.

The places I portray are chosen for the strong energy they embody; which is perhaps nothing more than an accumulation of experiences and presences that freeze in space and time. This is the energy I seek to convey: chests of collective memory, invisible maps of what once was.

Memories are never still: they intertwine, contaminate, and accumulate across people and places. My practice seeks to make this interweaving visible, transforming the unseen into tangible experience and restoring to memory its shared breath."
