Based on several old medical books, I made a selection of images to appropriate and intervene. This series addresses the topic of diseases from a more sensitive and poetic way; putting traditional medicine on one hand and metamedicine on the other, which seeks to heal with energy and positive thoughts; as affirmations, which there are for each type of disease. Each image is covered in confetti as an action to beautify or decorate what no one wants to see. At the same time it works as an act of personal healing.

My work has transitioned from collage towards sculpture and installation, using images and materials derived from popular culture surrounding healthcare, emotions, and our relationship with color. My most recent project deals with philosophical, spiritual, and esoteric doctrines to explore new forms of spiritual experience.
