My art explores transformation as a journey of peeling away layers of imposed cultures,

histories, and self-perceptions to reclaim an authentic essence. Born and raised in Uruguay,

my life was reshaped at nine, when my family fled to Canada following a coup d’état.

The abrupt displacement from familiar landscapes, language, and cultural touchstones left

a lasting impact on my sense of identity.

This uprootedness led me on a long journey of self-discovery, where I immersed myself in diverse cosmologies, cultures, and mystical traditions. In this transformative process, I reimagined

myself as a multi-layered, evolving being, rooted deeply in an innate spirituality.

 

Fragmentation, repair, and reintegration define this journey, reflected in my art as an

alchemical process. Grounded in a culture of necessity-driven reuse and upcycling, I incorporate discarded fabrics, local materials like lime and clay, and repurposed wood from shipping crates.

Fire acts as a catalyst, stripping elements back to their essence, leaving remnants ready to be reassembled into a higher order—revealing, in the process, an inner gold.
