I am an artist based between Amsterdam and Mexico City, working across sculpture and installation. My work is rooted in an interest in grey areas, taking urban infrastructures as a point of departure. I combine discarded industrial materials, handmade objects, and digital techniques.

A cross-pollination of materials shaped through different processes comes together in my work. Through reassembling, inserting, and carving, I transform elements such as cables, water pipes, and architectural skeletons to hyperexpose what normally remains hidden. I use de-standardisation to break or create new functions.

In my sculptures, references to infrastructures of the body, urban environments, and transnational networks appear. Objects such as vertebrae, nests, watches, and fictional brand labels sit alongside industrial materials. For me, sculpture is a way of rewriting the grammars that sustain contemporary life.
