Revelation of the close Work detail

I visit the places of my everyday life, encountering elements that fill the spaces but are also on the brink of extinction. I perceive it as an ephemeral landscape, selecting each object or scene based on individual morphological preference. My entire image archive is filled with precarious, forgotten elements, marked and fragmented. "The Fragment is nostalgic, it speaks of the impossibility of a return to a lost whole," says Feda Baeza. I need to see everything, like an omnipresence, so I translate the giant elements from my archives into reduced objects, as if they were models or small archaeological remnants, similar to those found in the valleys of my province, Tucumán. I conduct a meticulous study of what I perceive, constantly pondering the connection between the place and its remnants. I investigate what I inhabit, what seems to me beautiful and fragile at the same time.
I feel like I am traversing a venerable ruin.
