I design and create emotionally immersive and morally provocative installations and sculptures that explore themes of human suffering, systemic violence, political control, and social hypocrisy. My works are made to feel familiar, giving them a sense of plausibility in real life. This approach aims to highlight how human life can be treated as disposable during times of unrest, conflict, or indifference. I seek to analyze how, across borders and ideologies, people considered undesirable or foreign are often reduced to abstractions, stripped of their dignity, identity, and humanity.

​

To express this dynamic, I draw on metaphors from insects, creatures historically used to dehumanize “the other.” Beyond their symbolism, insects and entomology shape the formal vocabulary of my work through scale, repetition, classification, and anonymity. Rooted in a childhood spent amid Colombia’s immense biodiversity, this lifelong connection provides a framework for addressing human loss and the vast scope of collective suffering.

​

My installations and sculptures do not provide answers; instead, they create a space for viewers to confront uncomfortable truths: our complicity in systemic violence, our instinct to turn away from pain, and how easily empathy can vanish. Alongside critiquing systems of power, I aim to honor the lives of those marginalized by these systems. I see art as a means to bear witness, raise awareness, and inspire action.
