My projects arise from a process of observing the environment, often assimilated as “Landscape”. I seek to disrupt this concept with different ways of conceiving the world, drawing inspiration from my native region, Nariño. That’s why I always find myself traveling through that mountainous area where the borders of Colombia and Ecuador blur. I usually focus on the qualities we can attribute to the places, highlighting their tensions, which in most cases result from the diversity of perspectives with which we can approach the same thing. That’s why in my work, a single point of view, a precise idea, or something similar doesn’t solidify. I’m more interested in the idea of constructing worlds from multiplicity, diversifying thought, and entangling/disturbing what cannot be changed.
