STATEMENT
I wonder how the psyche selects our memories and how these nostalgic images are unconsciously distorted with newer emotions experienced in our lives.
My recent work investigates how our personal history and attachment to place recreate psychological landscapes, which conditioning the relationship of our body language with the environment, transform the body into a reflection of our psychological stages. Therefore, I use video and photo to document performance of private experience in public spaces. I uncover inner pain, sadness, fear, struggle, anger and anxiety through an intuitive process on which strategies of saturation, poise, concealment, camouflage and juxtaposition, reflect emotional gaps between balance and loss.
