Since 2013, I have lived in Bacalar in the Mexican Caribbean. Here, I built my house + workshop + edible forest. The environment in which I live has a very interesting biological diversity. On one hand, my artistic research has been linked to my practice in agriculture, and on the other my coexistence with the lagoon, the jungle, the stromatolites, the mangrove, the cenotes and the fauna has influenced my work from the conceptual part to aesthetic exploration.
Finding and collecting materials is fundamental in my process. Within my edible forest, I find materials that I work with such as: stones, wood, cotton, turmeric and red earth (in Mayan: “KanKab”, that I extract from the ground).
I am interested in exploring topics such as fertility, food autonomy, seeds, melipona bees, habitable spaces and some invisible processes of nature.
For ten years, I have investigated the pod of a tree called - flanboyan - with which I have made installations, sculptures and two-dimensional works.
