The deep gap between the grace of what is offered as sacred/ideal/sublime
and the oppression/violence in today’s society, as well as the contrast between
our inner and external worlds are matters that I constantly observe and wonder;
these matters form the basis of my practice that integrate a selection of
images that bear different emotions. I concretize wounded, implausible ideals
and dreams with images of demolished buildings. In my sculptures, images
of ruins reflect all that’s built with the intention of persistence; metaphors of
temporariness of life, and things that are not expected to revive, lingering in a
ghostly stateIn this sense, “What Remains” resembles a ‘night gown’ -an image
that references sleep and dreams; that implies the intimacy of this worldly
sensitivity overflowing to all perceptions of our reality.
