Artist Statement
My work explores the surreal landscapes of dreams and their connection with digital technology. Drawing from Amerindian and Freudian interpretations of dreams, I aim to create immersive environments where the boundaries between reality and the unconscious blur. Through virtual reality, 3D printing, and robotics, I seek to bring dreamscapes into tangible form, inviting viewers to experience moments of dislocation and transformation.
In works like Resonar (Resound) and Second Sun, I blend dreamlike narratives with technology, using sound, movement, and interaction to evoke the fluid, non-linear nature of time and memory. My art reflects on the human longing for belonging while examining how technology influences our perceptions of self and space
