“THE WORD CALLS THE PAPER, THE PAPER THE WORD”

The central focus of this series is the transformation of written language into a material form. I draw from literary texts, especially poems, that attract me for their density and their ability to condense universal human experiences. By transcribing them into this medium, words cease to be mere vehicles of meaning and become form, texture, and presence in space; they lose their linearity and fragment, inviting the viewer to encounter language differently—not as a discourse to be followed, but as a presence to be contemplated, traversed, and perceived.

Writings of Silence, Echoes of Silence, and Woven Words are inspired by the poetry of Alejandra Pizarnik. Manigua rewrites fragments from La Vorágine by José Eustasio Rivera.
