Statement
I was born and raised in Mexico from the second generation of Jewish immigrants. I grew up surrounded by images and symbols which I couldn’t relate to. By combining traditional images and figurative elements from Mexican culture, in a contemporary form, I try to integrate a common ground between my past and my present.My work is an internal search from a religious and a secular sphere. Through my jewelry I question existence. I intend to do this by reflecting on the equilibrium of the opposites. The heart embraces the whole of existence, life and death, presence and absence, love and hate, good and evil, happiness and sadness, passion and despair, faith and disbelieve.
Acanthus Mollis
Through this body of work, I try to get closer to understand the infinite realities that existence is composed of. In doing so, I use one same image. I center my attention in the parts, shapes and lines that conform it. I segment the image to achieve details, each line, each shadow, each shape has significance both in an aesthetic and a conceptual sense, which intrigues and captivates me. Finally, each piece is a part of that reality.
Tierra
Through this body of work, I try to reflect on the path I must travel from chaos to order, in search for the equilibrium in my life.
Working with soil is an act full of symbolism and meaning. Soil stores memories, it gives me a sense of identity and belonging. It helps me understand who I am as an individual and as a member of a group, to which god I pray, what I think and feel, how I understand the world, where I come from, what I believe in and where I want to go.
Through soil, as a metaphor of the substance we human were created from, I try to understand the meaning of my existence.
Ausencia series (Absence)
I live in a country, Mexico, considered to be one of the riskiest countries in Latin America for women's safety, where 6 out of 10 women have faced a violent incident during their lifetime, and more than 40% have been victims of sexual assault.
A country, where it is increasingly common the use of the term femicide: murders committed against women, assassination motivated by misogyny and sexism.
Through these pieces, I want to reflect on the void that femicide leaves; an absence within each of us and within the whole society.
Absence, empty spaces that leave a print, a void in our souls. Negative spaces that are impossible to be filed; the reality that will never be able to be restored.
This absence is a reminder of the truth that can’t be erased and silenced. It reminds me of the loss of the present, the loss of all possibilities that could have been.
