Digital Collage Serie, 2022 I’ve been working slowly on these collages, based on photos I’ve been taking during the transition from summer to autumn in the city. Here, the autumn light has a quality that still surprises and fascinates me. I’ve kept the process of writing, like a diary, documenting how I’m feeling and basic things I’ve done. If I don’t do it, I completely lose track of my existence. The name of this series is “The Contusion” because it’s related to the fundamental questions of existence, the ones characters in soap operas always ask themselves once they regain consciousness after a blow: “Who am I?

Before I left college, I was convinced that I could never become a visual artist. It took me 15 years and the COVID pandemic to make me realize that I truly needed it, genuinely enjoyed it, and that it didn’t matter whether I was good or not. Long story short, thanks to the opportunity provided by Marcela Villanueva and Karne Kunst, I returned to experimenting with images and developed a means of expression that I continue to nurture. These were my initial attempts and a way to reconnect with my visual language using the tools at my disposal. Also, working deeply submerged in the motherhood, this images start to build my next project.
