My work is about constructing objects. About building with materials but also about changing your perception about them. You think you know the object or it’s meaning, but when deprived of its value, of the context and even of what is made of, then you look at it in a different way. Playing with wire, plastic, cloth, metals, etc. and different techniques I like to create and to build portable and wearable structures.Containers
We all have something to keep, we sometimes hold it within something, it occupies a space, it is kept inside and out of limits. Sometimes is within us. But that something special is held and contain. This is a series of Containers that hold together one vessel after another.
