ARTIST BIO: I work with disparate materials, from massy bronze to delicate lace, and often animate the works I make through performance in collaboration with dancers, puppeteers and choreographers.

By learning how to stand up for ourselves with the purpose of surviving and live together, just like any other ecosystem we know. However, neither the ocean nor the land knows distinction of race or colour, it all lives at once.
After I had the pleasure to work with an amazing black model at my studio. It gave me an insight to how powerful and extraordinary their skin is, and what it represents for them and for others. The ambiguity of their acceptance into society has been pondered for thousands of years, and still prevails as a matter of human rights. Edition 1/10
